Re: problem tree roots

Gravel probably won't work, Theresa. But there is a product [name escapes me at the moment] that we use at work when we install palms in pool decks and the like. I'll CC myself at work with this, and try to have some sort of recall on Monday.

HI all-

I am wondering if anyone knows tricks to prevent tree roots from regrowing
in unwelcome places (but without actually killing the tree). There are
several roots in the way of my retaining wall around the front yard, which I
will chop off, but am worried a million more smaller roots may sprout from
where I cut them off. I was thinking the filling in around them with gravel
mix (so there are low nutrients available- thus making it inhospitable for
regrowth). What do you all think? Any experience with this.
