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,

Glyphosate applied in sufficient amount to kill some growth is likely to
kill the entire plant. If you are in southern California, just wait. A
blight is killing oleanders from San Diego all the way to Thousand Oaks
and is likely to spread farther.

Is there any hope just west of Sacramento?

Yes, it will be several years before the blight can spread that far.
Perhaps, it will take long enough that a cure or prevention might be
discovered before then.

Attorney-General Sessions claims the bible favors imprisoning illegal
aliens. However, God repeatedly commanded us to welcome the stranger in
our land. For example, see the following:
