I have some big crepe myrtle stumps next to the house that I need to kill and get out, any of you have any ideas on the fastest way to kill them?

Cut a fresh slice off and immediately apply grain to the stump. That’ll kill it.

Drill holes and fill with epsom salt. Pour it on the top too. In about 3 weeks you’ll be able to pull them out easily

My father need to kill several stumps several years ago. He had them lining his driveway. If I remember correctly, he cut them off at the ground and then "painted" straight round up on the stumps with a paint brush.

That sounds like it would work really well, I have drilled the holes and put epsom salt in them, will give it a week or so to see what it looks like, I will try the round up next.......thanks for the feedback....

I paint the fresh cut stumps with straight glyphosate if they don’t absolutely have to be pulled.

Just realized autocorrect messed up my post. Apply garlon to the fresh cut stump.
