Willow tree stumps???

Hi Guys,

 

A question for you all - if one fells a willow tree, then grinds out the stump (I mean completely grinding out), will the rooting system that is left in the ground send up growth's??

 

I have several large willows to fell for a national trust site, and the stumps to grind. I have proved with most species that grinding immediately or soon after after felling is the end of the tree, but we all know that willows are a bit different with their growth habits I.e. cut logs shooting new growth etc!!

 

So would I need to fell, apply stump killer, wait, then grind out so I am sure the whole rooting system is dead?

 

Would welcome any feedback, thoughts, experience, knowledge, here. Many thanks
