We had the Manx Palm removed about 4 years ago along with some other straggly trees/shrubs and replanted the entire garden.
Everything is thriving apart from in the patch where the palm was, and there are shoots of the palm coming up now that I have to dig up. Do I just have to accept that nothing will grow well there and plant something shallow rooted and keep on digging up the new shoots.
I put an autumn flowering cherry there so I could see it from the kitchen window.. and it's struggling. Other trees I put in elsewhere are fine.
