Killing Tree Roots

The stump or roots will absorb the Roundup and kill the root system. For more information please go to http://en.allexperts.com/q/Trees-739/Killing-tree-roots.htm

Knowing how to kill tree roots is the same as knowing how to kill a tree. Tree roots need to breath and if they are suffocated, the tree will die. Paving over tree roots, even mulching too deeply over tree roots will slowly suffocate the tree and will end up killing trees that have their roots covered.
