   As long as you are prepared to wait a *very* long time or spend more on   
   the chemicals than you would have done on the stump grinder.

   For a modest sized  tree 8" diameter trunk nitrate based rot encourager   
   and a trace of copper to inhibit the woods antifungal enzymes about a   
   decade got one of my dead apple tree roots to a point where it could be   
   snapped out of the ground with a scaffold pole and fulcrum. It had some   
   spectacular chicken-in-the-woods fruiting bodies along the way.   
      
   Saturating it with potassium nitrate and the setting light one very dry   
   summer was my plan so that it would smoulder away underground but in the   
   UK the summers are never dry enough and the ground is always very damp.   
      
   I doubt it would have lasted long against a 45 drum of brown fuming   
   nitric acid but that would have been serious overkill.
