I had two aging and diseased Japanese maple trees in my front yard. MY wife paid to have them cut down but neglected to have the stumps removed.
I am trying to decide what to do here. I have read about drilling holes in the stumps and epsom salts, potassium nitrate, or a few other things in but I suspect that this process takes years at best. Burning the stumps likely is not an option in my county .
Is there a good chemical way to accomplish the task or are my basic choices a stump grinder or wait years to get the stumps to decay?
Any advice is welcome---even bad advice.
