    then I do not understand what “working on the stumps” means. What change takes place with Roundup?

    I would discuss this with my arborist, but he is in Hermann at the moment.

    The glyphosate infiltrates the stump, kills it, and prevents more spreading. Eventually I assume the wood would just rot.

    BTW, @dado, I hope you like the book! Your read on VT and Vermonters is spot-on. Very beautiful state, and very individualistic people.

    The book arrived in my mailbox yesterday. I have read into the first chapter "Habitat", truly enjoying it! Thanks again for the recommendation.
