We live in toasty Houston, Texas. We transplanted 6 banana trees from a home in Galveston, and now they have multiplied to around 75. Although we get delicious bananas from them, they have become a terrible menace. I need a suggestion for getting rid of them. Of course, I chop them down with the machete, but they spring right back. I tried spraying Round Up on their stumps, but that didn't work.

Wow May4 That a lot of nanna's there!! I'm in the Dallas area I sure wich I could take a couple of theose trees off your hands!

I understand that if you cut them low to the ground and tied a dark bag to the stump and keep it tightly covered so no air gets to it eventually it will just rott away I did do that to a couple of shrubs I couldn't pull out or dig out, I had to keep putting bags over it because it took almost 6 months before it started to rott eventually I was able to just dig up the remains. but we're talking tree verses a bush here
