When using copper nails to kill a tree you drive the nails into the tree trunk.

Drive the copper nails into any part of the tree trunk and it will eventually kill the tree by preventing nutrients from getting through the tree.

Copper sulfate kills trees quickly.

You can apply copper sulfate to the tree and through holes in the tree which kills off the trees.

Driving copper nails into the tree trunk will also kill off trees.

To kill a tree with Roundup first drill holes into the tree and then pour some Roundup into the holes in the tree.

You can also drill holes in a tree stump and do the same thing to kill the tree stump with Roundup.

You can poison a large tree by applying herbicides or stump killer to the tree.

Also copper sulfate can help to kill a large tree when you drill holes into the tree and pour copper sulfate into the tree.

Another way to kill off a large tree is to drive copper nails into the tree which prevents the tree from getting proper nutrients and kills it.

Bleach will kill most small trees and dry out any tree leaves.

However for large trees it can be hard for bleach to kill it.

Salt will kill a tree but it will take around a year or so for the salt to fully kill the tree.

Adding enough salt to the soil of the tree roots can kill the tree over a course of a few years.

The chemical that kills trees quickly is Glyphosate which kills the trees and plants by interfering with the synthesis of proteins that are produced by only plants.

You can put some potassium nitrate on a tree stump to make it rot.

The potassium nitrate stimulates wood decomposition and kills it completely.

You can get rid of tree stumps naturally by drilling holes into the tree stumps and filling the holes with Epsom Salt and water to the top of the tree stump which allows the salt to penetrate.

Then apply a tarp or garbage back to the top of the tree stump and fungal infections of the tree stump will kill off the tree stump over time.

To get rid of a tree stump without grinding it you can apply chemicals in holes that are drilled into the tree stump.

You can apply some copper sulfate to the tree stump through the holes which will help get rid of the tree stump.

You can also use Bonide, Stump Stop and Spectracid to get rid of and kill off a tree stump.

After stump grinding the roots will naturally become part of the soil by dying and decaying.

After stump grinding the tree roots are also often severed using shears to ensure no regrowth of the tree roots.

To keep tree roots from growing under your house you should cut the roots and dam them up with root barriers to prevent future growth.

Cut down trees that are near your house and remove the root system of the trees as well and install root barriers before the roots of the tree reach the concrete or house.

Tree roots can and usually do spread around 1.5 times the length of the tree.

If the tree is 10 foot tall then the tree roots can spread as far as 15 feet or sometimes longer.

Tree root systems extend on average around 2 to 3 times the dripline of the tree.

With tree roots above ground you can dig around the tree roots and then use a saw such as a chainsaw to cut the tree roots and then pull them up out of the ground.

You can also use copper sulfate or boiling water to kill off the tree roots above ground.

However digging the tree roots out above ground is the best.

You don't need to remove all tree roots unless the tree roots are causing a problem.

Once you cut a tree down the tree roots will eventually die.

Copper Sulfate which is sold in the form of blue crystals will dissolve tree roots.

You can pour some copper sulfate down your drain to dissolve tree roots without damaging the drain line.

You can kill tree roots quickly by drilling holes into the roots and then pour some boiling hot water over them.

You can also pour Copper sulfate into the tree roots and Epsom Salt.

Or drive copper nails into the tree roots to help kill the tree roots.

You can kill tree stumps and tree roots by driving copper nails into the tree stump and also drilling holes in the tree stump and pouring some used motor oil or copper sulfate or Epsom salt into the tree stump which will also kill the tree stump and tree roots.

Copper nails do kill tree roots by preventing the tree from being able to circulate nutrients and water.

When you drive a copper nail into the trunk of the tree it interferes with the tree's vascular system that is responsible for carrying water and nutrients throughout the tree.

Without those waters and nutrients the tree and tree roots will eventually die.

Epsom salt and copper sulfate will kill tree roots naturally.

To get rid of tree roots under concrete you'll need to remove the concrete that is over the tree roots.

Then dig out the tree roots and cut the tree roots out.

Then replace the concrete with new concrete.

You can also apply some copper sulfate to the tree roots to help kill the tree roots or use Epsom salt.

To get rid of tree roots in your yard you should dig a hole all the way around the tree roots until the tree roots are exposed completely.

Then use a pruning saw or chainsaw to cut out the roots.

Carefully then pull the roots up and away from the tree until it comes out of the ground.

You can also use Epsom salt to kill tree roots.

Epsom salt and rock salt will do an effective job in killing tree stumps and roots.

You can also make a foaming solution of hot water, vinegar, baking soda, and table salt.

Spray the mix on top of the roots, or flush it down the toilet.

Tree roots usually continue to live and grow for up to a year after the tree is cut down.

After a year of the tree being cut down the tree roots should no longer live and should die out and not continue to grow.

Tree roots do not continue to grow once the tree is cut down.

Once you cut a tree down the tree roots cannot grow any longer because the leaves of the tree are necessary to provide the tree the needed fuel and food for root growth.

Trees will sometimes grow back if cut in half although not always.

Sometimes a tree will start to grow back branches out of the cut tree stomach or start to grow a new tree from the top of the tree stump.

When pruned properly, removed tree branches will not grow back.

Instead, the tree will grow what looks like a callous over the pruning cut, which helps protect the tree from decay and infection.

Because trees heal all on their own, you don't have to use a pruning sealer!

The tree that gives the most oxygen is the Pine Tree.

Pine Trees give off the most oxygen although they have a low leaf area index.

Other trees that give the most oxygen are Douglas Fir, Spruce, True Fir, beech, maple trees and oak as well as aspen trees.

Phytoplankton also produces oxygen and produces more oxygen than trees.

Between 50 percent to 80 percent of oxygen that is produced on earth comes from the ocean and most of that oxygen is produced by phytoplankton.
