We ground the stump down below ground level. The tree had been there 45 years or more and the root system was everywhere. I guess the little plants are seedlings or something. I thought about wetting them with Roundup using a sponge (to protect the lawn) but that could take a while to do each one individually.

After the stump soaked it up, he set it on fie and it slowly smouldered away into ash.
