To be honest, I'd like to remove it.

Did you leave enough stem to fit a condom? If so you could try neat
Roundup in one of Mr Durex's best. Ammonium sulphamate is alleged to be
good at stump-killing and breaks down into a fertiliser.

That's a clever idea.

I don't mean to turn it into a sexual metaphor but aren't there some
risks? I mean the stem isn't exactly smooth, so might there not be
some seepage. Or maybe I haven't understood the modus operandi?
