We had a wild fig tree which produced a lot of problems. It kept growing and destroying all nearby plants and its figs (not edible) made the area dirty and mice kept coming. We cut it down in winter and burned part of it near the cut down trunk. But it continues producing branches. All summer I cut them down, but new ones grow. Can I use a herbicide with the new plants around it?

Herbicide is never a good idea as it will kill other plants and leach into ground water. Here is a little known trick for killing trees...copper. Go get some copper nails and hammer them into the stump or tree trunk. It will take time but it will work without having to use herbicides.
