I suppose I'd keep cutting it down regularly, but might look like a job for some chemicals.Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263430746482725687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7175981378563441793.post-24271081090981818992015-10-11T18:43:48.227+01:002015-10-11T18:43:48.227+01:00Thanks tpals...I will certainly keep that in mind....Thanks tpals...I will certainly keep that in mind.Tanya.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08436595615435609755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7175981378563441793.post-4566595966449532632015-10-11T04:46:12.071+01:002015-10-11T04:46:12.071+01:00If you keep the bush part cut so short it can'...If you keep the bush part cut so short it can't put out any leaves will it eventually die off?

My worry is that maybe the tree was drafted onto a different root stock and that has ow started to grow. I think I can only try my best and keep my fingers crossed with this one. If at all possible I don't want to use weedkiller of any variety on it.Tanya.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08436595615435609755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7175981378563441793.post-85078223828433509942015-10-08T20:25:12.625+01:002015-10-08T20:25:12.625+01:00Really is hard to believe isn't it Jo.Really is hard to believe isn't it Jo.Tanya.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08436595615435609755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7175981378563441793.post-20760688698967961902015-10-08T20:24:51.039+01:002015-10-08T20:24:51.039+01:00Thanks Ann. :-)Thanks Ann. :-)Tanya.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08436595615435609755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7175981378563441793.post-45311609215795558122015-10-08T10:47:20.811+01:002015-10-08T10:47:20.811+01:00 Is it a separate bush, Tanya?

Check out the leaves and see if they are the same as the main tree.
