    What can I use to destroy ornamental pear tree roots and stumps?
    I cut the tops of two ornamental pear trees with my 18" chain saw; however the stumps are larger therfore, I want to destroy the stumps and the entire root system. These stumps are over six feet tall.

    How in the world can stumps be over 6' tall?
    Rent a bigger chain saw for half day rate and cut them to the ground.
    There are many ways to deal with a short stump, but roots are another matter. Ask at any garden supply or hardware store. If you really have to get rid of the roots too, hire someone with a bobcat or backhoe to remove all of it.

Bradford Pear Tree [ 1 Answers ]

I have a bradford pear that has way to many berries on it in the fall. The ground is a mess. Short of cutting it down, is there anything I can do to eliminate these small berries (pears?).
