How to Get Rid of Tree Shooters
- 1). Push the nearby grass or plants away from the base of the tree shooter with the trowel.
- 2). Grip the shooter from its base, right above the soil, and pull the shooter straight out of the ground.
- 3). Dig up the remaining roots by gently pushing the trowel into the soil where the shooter was located. Loosen the roots and remove them by gripping them between your fingers and pulling upwards.
