I have murdered intractable clumps of grass by enclosing tem in carboard
tubes and spraying with Roundup. The advantage is that the Roundup kills
the roots too, and the cardboard tubes prevent any overspray.

Do you have RoundUp in Oz? Glyphosate is the active ingredient, which
is pretty effective on anything that doesn't have waxy, impermeable
foliage.

You can kill anything with roundup, but if it has waxy leaves you may need
to cut away a portion of bark (this could be done at the same time as
trimming back the foliage on the plant) and paint straight Roundup on the
wound with a brush. This technique also has the advantage of preventing
accidental over-spray.
