Weeee,
To get it out ! Heres the trick! Can you drive your 4x 4 up to it?
Dig all you can around and beneath the stump. When you cant reach the bottom about 3 feet down, Hook a choker up and around the base in the trench and slowly gear it out with the truck.(tractor)? Ive had much sucess with this method. It also works for big nasty patches of watsonia. To get rid of that by hand will take you all day just to pop the stump and you will still have to yank it out with some equipment.
Thats one gnarly root ball! Do I hear back hoe? Lol have fun!!!!!!
I had a freind that had a huge one and he had a party so he put the fire pit on top of the pampas lol It came back!
What an evil plant.
