Stopping stumps regrowing


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

We own a piece of woodland/bog and as it is classed as sssi site we get paid to do certain works. They have asked for a price to fell 10 small birch trees approx 8inch diameter in the bog part and move into the woodland and remove a few seedling. I didn't see the chap when he shown my dad the job but he mentioned criss crossing the stumps and painting the cut stumps with something to stop them regrowing but my dad can't remember what he said!

 

Any suggestions what it the best product to put on them? They are mainly silver birch.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Jon

but if its in a triple SSSI then you need to have permission from the EA to use it. and if they will allow you to use it. not happy with chemicals on protected sites. if they need getting rid of use a stump grinder. but have it checked its oil tight. and it has things to stop the pipes splitting and chucking oil all over the SSSi site.
