    Hello there
    I just signed up and my first post.

    I need some help with removing a staghorn sumac tree.
    We have moved into a new house and the neighbors have complained about this invasive tree coming up in their grass from our yard. I would like to remove it and plant a curly willow.
    Tree is about 4"-5" in diameter and there are about 5 suckers around it. It is planted in a rock garden area. Not sure what other information is relevant.
    Can i just knock it over?? Before I make a mistake I thought some good advice would be helpful.
    Thanks very much !!
    Christine

    You'll have to get the roots out.
