WeiWei (strawberry) or Common?
I only ask because I have no idea on WeiWei & have been fighting a battle with common....
Have had this house for 8yrs, have been battling a common stump & its runners for the full time... the tree had been cut years before we moved but not IMMEDIATELY treated with systemic tree killer (all of our neighbors have said that was needed to be done & some even suggested running systemic on the blade....)
tried cutting the stump shouts & cutting lines into the stump & bark sides...then treated...it regrew....a year later, after neighbors advised, recut the stump while treating w/systemic - that did kill the stump & some of the runners, but some may have had roots broken & still grew...
Every single root runner that spouts now gets painted with systemic (this thing grossed the road, was all into the neighbors yard & ours...some roots sprouted over 150' from the stump!....
After 8 years, we only get a couple of sprouts a year (seemed like a couple a week when we first moved here!)
