    TOH will resprout from all over the root base and for quite a few years. You can get sprouts 30-40 feet away from the stump if it was a big tree.
    I cut quite a few down on the edge of a field. I also cut the grass around the perimeter of the field every two weeks at least. It’s the only way beyond poison to keep them in control. They are starting to die off where I cut regularly. I imagine the root systems are rotting. Further into the field which is only mowed twice a year I’ve noticed this year they’ve sprouted large and taller than normal. I’m hoping it’s one last gasp, one last Hail Mary in an attempt to regrow. We shall see.
