If they are very small (under 3 inches) then just hoe them. If they are a little larger you can pull them up. Otherwise a glyphosate based weed killer can work well, if there are other plant close buy you wish to keep, then use a Gel, otherwise a spray works out cheaper.
A group of trees is commonly referred to as a "stand" or a "grove." 'wood', 'forest', 'plantation', are some of the names for a clump of trees. an ORCHARD :) a group of trees are called a grove. a ...
EDIT. To summarise, if you think your established trees may be susceptible to strimmer damage, spray off (using glyphosate) a mowing strip (about six inches wide) around the trunk. For young trees, follow the RHS advice given above.
A small group of trees can be called a woodland, or an orchard. A much greater group of trees may be known as a forest. Words for a group of trees include: arboretum, clump, copse, forest, grove ...
If bare root trees are dug up to be sold or moved and planted, how should they best be stored until planting if it could be a few days (e.g. 1-7 days)? I usually buy bare root trees with roots wrapped in plastic bags, often with some substrate (wood shavings, sand, soil) and plenty of moisture.
Oak trees are well suited to bonsai, but that is not your biggest problem here. You have two main problems: getting that thing out of the ground with its root system in tact and secondly getting it to survive once it comes out of the ground. Getting the tree out of the ground, even though it appears small isn't an easy task.
By pruning, the new growth is forced to emerge further back, toward the interior of the tree. It radically slows the rate of the tree getting bigger, but it inevitably will get larger. This is typical of ‘white pines’. Other pines will also release buds on the bare stems at the interior of the tree as a result of the pruning.
8. Context. We have 2 ft (60cm) high retaining wall and 2 ft behind the retaining wall is a 4 ft (1.2m) high fence. Naturally there is backfill with 5/8" crushed stone directly behind the wall. This backfill goes back 1 ft (30cm), but only goes to a height of 9 inches (23cm) from the top of the topmost retaining wall block. Goal.
14. The trees have probably got aphids. From the RHS website here: Ants may be found climbing plants with aphid colonies, they tend the aphids obtaining honeydew as a reward. The ants will remove aphid predators. Not much you can do about it. If you spray the aphids, you risk killing useful predators such as ladybirds.
Stripping off a narrow ring of bark right round the trunk is almost guaranteed to kill any tree, however big it is. That is why protecting trees from damage from rabbits etc eating bark in winter is so important. If you can't get plastic tubes big enough to protect the trunk, try the wire mesh protectors used to keep animals from causing damage.
