How do I kill a Lilac bush?

Posted on April 23, 2006

Question:
We have 2 lilac bushes that we would like to kill. The roots are buried deep in the ground and 1 of the bushes is around a light post. What do we do?

Answer:
Simply cut the bush off at ground level and apply Fertilome Brush and Stump Killer at undiluted strength. This will kill the root out.
