Default Controlling adventitious growth of oleander

There is a large (multiple 5" trunks) oleander growing next
to a walkway. Some unwanted trunks have been cut, and they produce
a dense growth of buds, which intrude on the walkway and have to
be laboriously cut away lest they obstruct traffic.

Can glyphosate be used to kill the vegetative growth near the ground
without killing the entire tree? It wouldn't be a disaster if I did
kill it, but it'd be better not to. If I kill it I'll be duty bound
to remove it, and that looks like a big job 8-)

Thanks for reading,
