How do I kill a Willow ? ? ?

I'm currently trying to get rid of a Willow out of the middle of our Rose garden.

It isn't so much a tree, it was used as ground cover.

It is on a trunk about 1' high and probably about 8" round..

I've taken all the branches off now so there is just the main trunk left.

Unfortunately, due to my health I can't dig it out.

What I'd like to do is saw it off just above ground level and then kill it off completely.

Is there anything I could perhaps kill it off with ? I ws thinking if perhaps making holes into it and pouring bleach or weedkiller into it.

Obviously, I don't want to use anything that will contaminate the soil as there are Roses, Pieris and Box in the same bed.

Thanks everyone in anticipation

 

is it low enough to stick a bucket over it,pull of regrowth it will be soft as in the dark hopefully the roots don't shoot

 

Hi

if you can drill holes in to the stump and buy some "brushwood killer" and pour it into the holes then do the same the following week and as MR c has mentioned keep it covered with a bucket . Shoudnt take long plus it wont go in to the soil.

 

Hi Spruce,
Thanks, that's the sort of thing I was looking for. Would somewhere like B&Q or The Range sell it do you think ?

 

I know hombase does , but a quick phone call is best make sure they have it n also Amazon sell it as well .

SBK (IS THE MAKE TO LOOK FOR)
