breaking off a weed\tree ground level WILL NOT KILL IT...must dig down and be sure get all the root.

I have never seen a tree bounce back after being chopped off unless it already has other shoots up or if it is chopped in Winter, sometimes they have enough energy to come back in Spring.

It depends on the plant. Some will dry and die without foliage.

What tanerite is for.

Beware the honey locust tree

so many homeowners\renters dont care, just allow the home to implode around them
