I am not sure exactally about that jasmine, but my experience with
jasmines in general is they are tough as nails, especially if they
have a good start! I would think that as much root as possible and cut
the top back pretty severely should work! Of course that isn't any
brilliant new discovery....

I have some mature nightblooming jasmine bushes, some of which I want to get
rid of. The frost (New Orleans, south of lake) killed the leaves but the
trunks and bigger branches are healthy. A friend--not terribly experienced in
gardening--said she'd dig them and take them in her truck. Is there any way
to do this without killing either the trees or the friend?
