@Draskia We’ve cleared two acres of them on this property.. if you get tired of pulling roots, clopping them at ground level (and continuing to do so any time they leaf out) will eventually kill the root ball.
@npcSara Seconding the Flexispot! They’re pretty affordable at the base… their website has a lot of different options/configurations.. mine has been going strong for the last 6 years with no issues!
