Ok. No one answered my question re: killing tree stumps. These trees are only about 4" round, and I thought I heard Howard talking on his show one day about this matter. It seems I heard "cover with newspaper", and also have heard about drilling holes in stumps and filling with molasses. Does this help in anyway?

No one answered my post either regarding removing "living" stumps that still grow sprouts. I posted it in the Tree section and General Landscaping... I can say one thing for sure - you're right on with the molasses or any sugar product and drilling the holes. You also want to soak the area with water and cover with a layer of mulch...that is all I know. Not sure of newspaper but tat I'm testing out one stump in particular that is rather large with the molasses and mulch and have yet to see any new sprouts coming from that tree stump - but it has only been a week. We worry about oak wilt so picking off the sprout growth is unacceptible at this point for us. Good luck in your stump removal venture!

drilling holes and adding sugar and mulch been working for me. I had a tree die last year, I finally knocked it down in the spring and now the grass is about to consume the remaining stump.
