what kind of tree was it? if you keep cutting off the growth, it'll give up eventually.
-
Is the stump still alive, and sending up/out new shoots, or just not rotting quickly enough for you?
-
If it's bonsai material there might be an enthusiast who'll want to dig it up

I bought some of these for about 60 quid from ebay and followed the instructions.
I used 50 of them in the Sweet Chestnut stump and once I'd found that they'd worked I sold the remainder on ebay for 50 quid! A win all round.

The Constable Savage method will certainly work, or just drill loads of bloody great holes (as you said) and pour in neat SBK, a small bottle costs about a tenner. It will kill anything other than an ex-wife or persistent Mother-in-law.

Any tips on tree poison? There's an old tree stump that's still alive on the edge of our garden and it has enormous roots that go in the direction of the house. I've been digging around them and sawing them off but the main stump lives on.
guessing I'll need to drill holes in it and pour something in there?
