Hi David,
Many trees will send up sprouts from the roots still in the ground once you've cut down the tree.* I had a locust tree do that for 4 years!* You can just continue to mow them or help the stump rot more quickly.* Here's how.

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
