I suspect there is no good way to deal with this problem, but
maybe I'm wrong. My neighbor has a fantastically active tree.
I don't know what kind it is but even after he cut it down, it
continues to live. It sends runners all over the place, including
into my yard. Left alone, in a month or two it can become
what looks like a bush about 4 feet by 4 feet by 4 feet. I hate
to imagine what would happen if it had a whole summer to grow.
I tried spraying weed killer on it, which turned the existing leaves
brown and killed them, but then it just grew more leaves.

Am I doomed to forever digging up and cutting this tree?
