Just bought a house and now I have to pull out the trees. These are 5 year old cottonwood trees. If you know anything about Cottonwood trees this is gonna suck. I just had a arborist out and he pretty much gave me the low down on these trees. First of all they grow 4 to 6 feet a year. Second, the root systems is incredable. Even after you tear the stump out the roots will still grow and you have to watch out for the seedllings to sprout up and shoot Round Up on them.
Any ideas on how to take care of this issue with out paying $2200 for this guy to take them out?
