Removal of White Mulberry Tree #880300

Asked August 05, 2024, 4:14 PM EDT

I have a White Mulberry Tree growing alongside the foundation of our home that we are having a difficult time managing to remove. What herbicides should we be using to stunt growth long enough for us to be able to remove the tree? We do not have enough access to be able to dig out the root system in it's entirety I fear.

Hi Chelsea -
I found a link that can help you get rid of your unwanted tree:  https://extension.umn.edu/planting-and-growing-guides/woody-vegetation-control#chemical-control-1480161  Read the link and be sure to follow the directions if you choose to use a chemical removal.  I would try the non-chemical removal first!  If that tree wants to fight you, then use an herbicide with one of the chemicals stated in the link.
I hope this helps.
