Perhaps Dr. Dendro has an answer for some1 who's willing to ask a question.

thanks for the link.

I submitted:

After quaking aspen removal (or cottonwood, or...), what is best management for suckers.
If herbicide used in cut-stump application or frill and spray application, it has been noted on TreeBuzz that it can translocate to other same species trees that are root grafted, resulting in non-target necrosis and sometimes death.
Is there a danger of roots exuding the herbicide into the soil where non-grafted roots can pick it up?
Is there known inter-species root grafting where other tree species may be damaged or killed by the herbicide through the roots?

We'll see what Dr. D has to say.

Been about 10 minutes.

"Hi Sean,

No real chance of any inter species grafting or exuding of the chemical. An exuding into the soil would be very slight."

Drill some big holes and fill them with as much salt as you can the cover with plastic if you want salt dehydrates the tissue and the epicormic bud don't respond as well.

The buds respond mostly to stress of loseing the tree but can also be triggered by an increase of ground soil tempature even a degree or 2 from when you get rid of the shade. Sorry for the aside but thhought it was relevant.

If that dosen't work keep mowing them down they'll give up eventually
