Drive a copper nail into the trunk, it will do in any tree in short

Use a nail set to pget it below the cambium surface. Ifyu yu do not
have a copper nail, drive a regular 16 penny spike into the tree, near
the buttress roots or low to ground, pull nail out, and tap in a piece
of 14 or 12 gauge copper wire (sold type with insilation removed),
then just sort of smush hole back closed to make it un noticeable. For
such a cheap pest tree its unlikely they wold spend much or nay time
at all looking it over to see why it died and would never see that
nail hole, or the copper inside it....2" long piece will do it.
