It's a bit hard to weedkill it, as the leaves are water-resistant.
But it isn't very hard to pull it up thoroughly, though it'll take a
few attempts to get rid of the lot. I'd do it by hand: it's easier
and less dangerous to your health. If you've got thick trunks hugging
a wall, cut through them as low down as possible: you can paint the
cut ends with SBK if you like, but I'd prefer to hoick them out if
possible.

the oil is going to be easier
