Thanks

[@mattbarker2506]

Thanks ! I have been using hydrogen peroxide to try to kill it after I remove it

[@nokiot9]

Also you have any tips for tumble weeds?

[@nokiot9]

You don’t have to remove the entire branch? Doesn’t it come back?

[@ArboristAdvice]

Sometimes, but if you are persistent two to four times it usually stays away.

@@ArboristAdvice Aw man I took half the arms off my tree lol.

Don't sweat it. When too many limbs are removed from the tree it responds with new sucker growth. Just be sure now to nurture those new suckers as part of the new canopy. Do not just cut them off.
