Red Acer tree

[DP]

All that is left of the tree is the stump which I am trying to extract from the ground.

Today I got a chainsaw to cross cut the stump and then using a wedge to split the stump piece by piece. Astonished to note there is dirt as filling between some timber and the chainsaw already needs sharpening

Will be at it tomorrow again to extract the stump

Any hints as to what to do or not to do

TIA

Dan

How urgently does it need removing. I usually cut level with the ground then drill a load of 12mm holes and fill wth glycophosphate weed killer. They don't regrow and rot fairly quickly.
