I have a number of cupressus trees about 3 ft high. They have not grown as I would have liked and are now unsightly. I would like to kill them off so they will be easier to dig up. Any suggestions ?

hi, if there only tiny you would be best just digging them up, spraying them with something wont really make them any easier to get rid of. They cant have a very big root system if there fairly new.

Probably not the answer you wanted but..

I'm with Peter on this. At only 3 feet high they shouldn't be too difficult to dig out. If you have trouble with a spade you might want to try a mattock.
