How does one..... kill a plum tree or yanked it out of its miserable existence?
Sensei Gopher is around and I humbly bow to his superior knowledge.
OK. I'll wait till the master shows up. If Gopher reads this, pls answer if you can. Domo-arigato.
Wow, Lise, I don't know about that avatar.
I'm trying to focus but all I can think about is hot vampire love (http://www.motleycrow.com/ImageHost/icon_smile_shock.gif)
Bahaha. Funny you. She's much better here.

Lightfoot approves!!
"How does one..... kill a plum tree... "
I think the best way to kill a plum tree is...not at all.
If it was me I would look it up on google ;)
Next best bet would be to saw the f*cker down and then pour a corrosive chemical on the base of the stump to eat it. I think they make such a product but I'd carefully read the label so you don't end up poisoning nearby flora.

...sometimes it's better to just live and let live. (Sorry if this reply is unduly Rogerian)

Did you just draw that??
Stole it, as is my wont. Can't draw.
LOL!
Well in that case nice scavenging skills!!
I can't draw either :(
Thank Xenu for Photoshop.
Actually, I used to draw welfare, back when I was a booze artist.
ROFL!
Booze artist.
Let me guess, you used to draw paintings in the snow with used booze??
Absolutamente! "Used to" is inaccurate. I still dabble.
why would you kill a plum tree? what did it ever do to you? :'(

It's growing outta control which is why I need to get rid of them. (I have two) If I don't, they'll overtake the yard and I haven't the time nor energy to trim them all the time.
cut down and dig out root ball. If you just want to kill the tree and leave the dead tree in the yard...remove the bark around the tree at the base of the trunk (about 12" length)....of cause you will be torturing the poor tree
Hmm.... thanks for the advise there, 49er. I'll just follow your advice and cut down the tree then slowly remove the roots. No point in removing the bark - torture ain't my style unless it's asked. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/13.gif)

[FONT color=#0000bf]Right, here we go. There are two things you could do:[/FONT]
[FONT color=#0000bf][/FONT]
[FONT color=#0000bf]1) Saw down the tree to a height of about 5ft (or to where the first branch has formed - whichever you choose), buy a piece of roll trellis and tie it round the, train honeysuckles up the stump. Leave the honeysuckles to achieve a state resembling wildness - and the following year you should find that birds are nesting in it. Remove any new growth from the stump as it appears.[/FONT]
[FONT color=#0000bf]2) Saw down the tree as close as possible to the soil (don't bother digging out the roots, this is arduous and takes too long). Paint creosote onto the top of the stump - this will prevent futher growing. Round the remnant stump (or in close proximity to it) grow some ground hugging creepers, such as nasturtiums. On the other hand when the creaosote has taken effect you could cover the stump with soil and create a 'mound' for thiongs to grow on.[/FONT]
[FONT color=#0000bf][/FONT]
[FONT color=#0000bf]If you feel in the mood to test your green credentials (as well as your dignity), informed sources tell me that instead of using creosote urine will do equally as well: just apply daily for a period of two weeks. I haven't tried this![/FONT]
lol
urine - urea - fertilizer - larger plum tree (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Thinking/2.gif)

[FONT color=#000000]Hi Gopher,[/FONT]
Many thanks for the info. I think option (2) looks good to me so I'll try this one. I don't think I will try the ground hugging creepers as I'm not able to get on my hands and knees at this point. But I'm thinking about putting two great barrels on top of the stumps once I'm sure the roots are good and dead.
Anyways, thanks again!
As for the urea treatment....... egad.... my neighbors will have a field trip should they see us watering the plants with our golden shower. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Other/10.gif)
Hi, Lise! Do you plan to sell tickets? Hell, I'll pay to see that!

......had decided to urinate on his neighbour's compost heap, the outcome could have been so different; for many keen gardeners, urine is the secret ingredient for the perfect planting soil. The gesture may have been seen as a sign of friendship and an end to a boundary dispute that has lasted for eight years. Urinating regularly, however, on a tree trunk or bark for almost a year creates too much salt, blocking conducting vessels and preventing water from keeping leaves green.
WOW! I could almost smell the place now (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Shocked/2.gif)
Dang.... does that apply to dogs as well? If he screws up my plants, I'm castrating him. *kidding*
