Does anybody know how to kill a mulberry tree? I have tried cutting it down but it keeps coming back.

I am in the middle of excavating for a stone patio next to my sun room. A mulberry tree is about fifteen feet away. I've cut several roots about 2" in diameter. How do I prevent them from growing back and damaging my new patio in the future?

How much salt, how big should the hole be, and should it be granulated or dissolved in water? 16 years ago, I cut down a mulberry tree that was growing into a chainlink fence. Since then, I have been diligently cutting the shoots, hacking at the trunk stuck in the fence, and doing everything I can think of to kill it. I don't want to harm any of the surrounding plants, so is the salt method safe for the other bushes and such?
While I'm at it, does anyone have any thoughts on killing oriental bittersweet? I don't want to harm the 60+ year old hydrangeas in the area. It is everywhere on my property!
Thanks so much!

I want to kill my mulberry tree and keep it too. It gives great shade but if it overrunning my house, deck. With all the rain we got this year, it is filled to the brim with big black berries. They are all over my deck, staining it. I just stained the deck last year! I can't take the covers off of my outdoor patio furniture or it will be berry stained. I'm anxious for the berries to be over. They are extremely sweet this year.

This is not actually feedback but merely a thank you to everyone who contributed and posted methods of killing a Mulberry tree. I live in Southern Indiana and I was about to my wits end. I tried digging, cutting, poisoning. Nothing worked. I look forward to trying some of the helpful suggestions I found here. Thanks again

Next time you cut it down paint the stump immediately, (within seconds), with neat Round Up concentrate, (glyphosate), weed killer. You must do it quickly before the plants transport system closes over to 'heal' the cut. Obviously take the usual precautions like wearing gloves. The manufacturers claim this weed killer is broken down quickly in the soil so there will be no residual effect if you want to plant something else there.

For Sherry - mulberries are very easy to propagate if you can find one near you - just strip most of the leaves off the bottom of a small end branch about 12" long and place in pot of potting mix and keep damp - or you can just stick straight into the soil. Do more than you think you'll need as they may not all take.

Regards

Jo

If you have not killed it yet please contact me at sherryngordon@hotmail.com. I absolutely LOVE mulberrys and would love to try to figure out hot to get a rooting from this tree so that I can grow my own. Thanks, Sherry

Use Tordon, A product You can buy and use on the stumps of anything to keep them from growing back. Just circle the stump with a ring of it. But it is very toxic. We buy ours at a local farming supply store. Always follow directions ! Good Luck.

I would pour a large bottle (or 2) of vinegar where the roots would soak the vinegar up as if it were water. This should kill off the roots.

Once the tree is cut down to ground level, drill a hole in the remaining trunk and pour salt in the hole. The salt will kill the remaining roots. This works.....its how we kept the trees out of our sewer lines. :)
