A little late perhaps; but after 2 years those stumps will come out easily.
Heh, I yanked out a 20 year old stump last week and it still had good solid holding wood on the outside -- only the middle was rotten. I ended having to flush cut the base of it with a chainsaw. Guess it needs another 20 years....
These were Christmas trees, under 5" stumps. It seems they should come right out after rotting a couple of years. Then again I've been wrong before.![]()
