[QUOTE="Topper, post: 1051799, member: 186250"] You need to check with your council that there is no TPO on the tree in question as the fines are pretty steep. Willow even when cut down, dried and laid on ground has been known to sprout, as mentioned very resilient, a more complete method is to stump grind the trunk, to 18" below the ground level then pour caustic on the remaining root and stump to inhibit growth, finally lay a plastic liner on that and cover with 18" of soil. My son had a tree similar size in his garden 3 mtrs from his house and the branches spread over 5 houses, the stupid 'professional' forgot his stump grinder poured the caustic on the stump then came back a month later and ground the stump spreading sawdust laden with caustic an inch thick over the whole garden killing the grass and every plant in the garden.
