It's a long story,but I'v got a section of land that was clear-cut of timber 12-15 years ago and hasn't been touched since.My problem,each stump has sprouted 4-5 new trees around the circumference of the stump.The sprouts run from 2 to 6 inches in diameter and 10-20 feet tall according to species.
I absolutlly do not want to use spray.And know girdling or cutting only brings more sprouts.
Bulldozing is also out of the question.
I'v read about copper nails driven into the trunks but have never seen it done or talked to anyone with personal experiance.
I'd like to turn this little plot about 3/4 acre into a wildlife clearing as it is remote and surrounded by heavy timber and thickets.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,Jim in Va.
