These nuisance trees are growing behind the garage. I'm trying to clean it up back there. I've cut them down a number of times and they keep coming back in multiples. I swear they have runners too. I laid some scrap plywood down in that spot, and they have found their way out and grow through and around anything in their way. Do I cut them again, then poison the area, or poison first? There are no other plants I care about in that space.

Spray round up on a freshly cut “stump”
Cut it off and immediately paint the stump with “stump killer “. I buy the kind that comes with a wand so you can paint the killer on.
I wouldn’t try to kill it. They look young enough you can just dig them out. If there are a lot of little seedlings or suckers from it you can kill those with round up
You have to dig the stumps out anyway. Cut and dig.
