that means, no.Fresh is cut straight away.If it was a fresh cut, you could brush with woody weedkiller, or roundup.

ok cool, so cut again, and brush with woody weedkiller, straight away on the fresh cut before it has time to heal, or dry up.

Drill 10mm wide holes and put Roundup in them every week.

Yates Woody Weed Killer works a treat.I always apply it within 2 mins of cutting the stump.You can just paint it on or do what the pic on the label shows.I always keep a bottle of it made up and in my gardening buchet with a brush.Whenever I find something I want gone that will not pull out, I cut and paint it. Some plants/trees require repeat treatments.Some pop out little side growths later, so snap them off and paint immediately. While some plants do need more than one application, the product does work, even with ivy.Vut it off at ground level and paint the stump, and just let everything above it die of naturally.
If you do not want to wrench a stump, do what I do to mine.Make the stump as low to the ground as you can and put a compost bin over the top of it.Drill heaps of holes into the dtump first.
If you do not want to buy Woody Weed Killer, just use roundup.Drill holes all around the base and get the stuff into those holes.

There's a product called stump rot, just sprinkle it over stump after drilling holes in it.

Also soak the killer/or whatever around the bark line on the circumference.

#17- The professionals do it, as I have watched them do on our large tree stumps.

"Apply a weedkiller directly to the stump, concentrating it in the outer ring of live tissue just beneath the bark Weedkiller is best applied to fresh stumps, as live tissue is needed for its uptake. If the stump is only a few weeks old, you may be able to expose live tissue by cutting the top off to expose a fresh-cut surface "
It's the cambium layer just under the bark that is receptive to poison.

Sodium chloride into the holes-deadly poison at heavy undiluted rates!

sorry, apologies!I read that as around the drip line . I read bark as in, the garden, not of the tree.Yes, you're right -applying it to the stump perimeter edge works well as it's the outside of the trunk that translocates the sugars back into the plant.This is why trees die when they have been ringbarked, as there's no way to move water and sugars through the tree with the outside cut off

maybe i should have ringbarkedthem last year& i wouldnt have this problem now, cause they would all be dead ,, but i didnt & they are alive and kicking (ha ha) ill try some of ideas on 1 or 2 of the stumps and see which works the best

To preserve wood you oil it. Diesel is a form of oil, on top of that its not really poisonous until people use so much it just coats everything and means the whole area will be a deadzone for a long long long time. But a deadzone with a preserved stump in the middle of it.
Drill holes and apply nitrogen or buttermilk.

I wouldn't recommend putting hydrocarbons in the stump. I'd go with potassium nitrate or urea in drilled holes - these will provide nitrogen to bacteria in an otherwise nitrogen limited environment. You will probably need to make sure it's dead though - weedkiller on the cambium (as someone else suggested), which is the living tissue.
