: I have 8 small red tip photinia bushes that I want to remove. They were a poor choice by a previous owner. I have kept them trimmed small, but I'm sure their roots are growing madly. How can I remove them and their roots without a huge amount of digging?

Hi Rosemary,

I know of no magic potion to get rid of roots in the soil. You will have to dig!
