*********************

My sister had a tree in her front yard in the center of the lawn...the
tree sprouted roots and tiny  trees  appeared all over the lawn. She
has had the tree cut but these little trees keep coming up all the time
all over the lawn...she mows the lawn and they get cut ...but reappear.

How can she kill these ...that are sprouting up everywhere ?

My sister does not  know what sort of tree this is...the home builders
planted it...the house is about 18 years now.

Has anyone had any experience with this sort of situation ?


Pls help

Thanks
Kim

It's not an unusual problem: a groups search in uk.rec.gardening should
find you plenty of advice (it's more active than this group)

Or you could visit your local garden centre and read the labels on the
weedkilling products: you want a gel that you can apply to just the tree
suckers, by painting or sponging it on, so as not to get it on the
grass.  The active ingredient would probably be glyphosate.

If neither of those helps, post on uk.rec.gardening saying how long ago
the main tree was cut down, maybe with a description of the suckers.
