Bradford pear 30 months after being cut down


I cut this Bradford pear down at the end of 2021 and left a 4ft stump. Here it is today.

    Are you looking to get rid of it for good? Wait until fall around, cut it below where the new branches are, paint the stump with herbicide.

    Hence why they are one of our worst invasive species in the US.

    Why’d you let it regrow? Each new branch that shows up, hack it off. Never ending battle.

    Lil bastards. We have one too that I just noticed is sprouting a thingy on the side…and we had cut it down to the STUMP!! Guess I’ll be “weeding” on that thing forever.

    Rent a stump grinder and get rid of that thing.

    You didn’t “cut it down”–you “trimmed it” and it grew back.

    In early fall, drill holes in it, as deep and wide a possible. Fill holes with nitrogen, water and cover with cardboard and bricks, stones, etc. By spring it will be below ground.
