The fruit tree is 4 feet from a tree stump. We tried to kill it with various stump killers (I don’t know the brand names or names of the chemicals). It did not die and I had to hire somebody to grind the stump. The mulch is still in the soil. The fruit tree will bear fruits soon. Will the fruits have the chemicals and are they harmful to health if we eat the fruits?
If you soak and rinse the fruit and then store them in a plastic bag in the fridge for a few days, then they should be fine.
