Many people forget to do with when root working elms. I forgot when removing a number from the ground. Many nice little tree's can be made and its so simple.

I removed a big C.Elm about 15 years ago and it took 5 years to eradicate the roots with neat roundup . The roots on a 100mm trunk will travel 5m under mulch seeking moisture , a lot of root cutting there .Cheers
