   I tried that on some little trees I am truing to get rid   
   of.  First I cut them back to the ground.  Then I placed   
   a big old piece of cardboard on top of them with a big   
   old rock to keep it in place.  The SOB's just grew out   
   around the cardboard.  These were 2' x 2' pieces   
   of cardboard!!!!   
      
   AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   
      
      
   Next attempt, I am going to try to girdling the branches.   
      
   I really, really, really do not want to use round up on them.   
      
   Oh and they are completely immune to cussing at them!
