They also put in some herbicide, since the didn't want to grind out the stumps so close to the house. I just hope it works - figs are notoriously hard to kill. We had a small one (about 4') in our previous yard (same landlord planted the damned thing). I spent over a year stripping every leaf that showed, I cut a ring out of the bark under the ground level, I sprayed it with RoundUp, and it still lived. Finally I poured a whole bottle of Lysol concentrate around it and it died.
Then the landlord planted another, the bastard. If he tries that &#^% again I'll sue. Especially since he doesn't own the house any more.
