What kills tree roots naturally?

• <div><p>Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/options-tree-stump-removal.htm">removing the tree's stump</a>. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.</p></div>

Q: What's the difference between trimming and pruning a tree?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-prune-tree.htm">Pruning a tree</a> is a yearly job that involves removing small dead branches, leaves, and blooms to help the tree grow bigger and stronger. You can often complete the job with basic home gardening tools. On the other hand, trimming a tree removes larger sections to control the direction the tree grows in and protect your home, utility wires, and yard from potentially dangerous branches.</p></div>

Q: Are palm tree stumps hard to remove?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, palm tree stumps are one of the most difficult types to remove due to how their roots grow. Unlike other trees, palm tree roots grow horizontally and vertically. Palm tree roots grow as deep as three feet into the ground, although soil and growing conditions could mean they go as far as 50 inches into the earth. </p><p>If you want to be able to repurpose the grass in the area where you removed a stump later, you&rsquo;ll have to dig quite deep&mdash;and perhaps wide&mdash;to trim away all the roots.</p></div>

Q: How do you hollow a tree stump without a drill?

• <div><p>Using a drill to bore holes in the stump's center speeds up the process, whatever method you use. If you don&rsquo;t have a drill, you can still chainsaw or chisel the stump to make it hollow; it will just take more elbow grease and time. Steer clear of burning the stump to hollow it if you can&rsquo;t drill some holes in it first. Otherwise, getting it to light, stay lit, and burn right through will be a challenge. </p></div>

Q: When do dead trees fall over?

• <div><p>If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.</p></div>
