Other than chemicals, the only thing that has worked for me is
persistence with pruners. The roots can't survive without
photosynthesis, take away the leaves constantly and consistently and
the roots will starve to death.

My suggestion is roundup concentrate.
Pour it FULL strength on the tree, but before, very very important, is to
drill and many deep holes in the stump as you can, and fill the holes with
it.

NEVER use a concentrate "full strength". It's a "concentrate" for a reason.
It needs to be mixed with water to be safe, and to be effective.

-Did you know that dolphins are so intelligent that within only a few weeks
of captivity, they can train Americans to stand at the very edge of the
pool and throw them fish.

The bottle of roundup concentrate has instructions for using it full
strength.

SOME consumer products have instructions for use at full strength, and in
this case roundup does for extremely problem weeds/vegitation.
The roundup concentrate that sits in my shop should never be put on at full
strength, becasue it would probably burn a hole straight through the earth,
and is WAY too concentrated.

Hmmmmm but then the MOE would probably pull up and give me a large fine and
take all my oil!

Thanks everyone. I've got some good ideas here and will give them a try.
I'll be back if I can't get it to work.

In your vaired experiences, How long does this generally take to kill off the
tree?

What I do is this, drill holes in the tree stump, fill with roundup, repeat
a few times then burry the stump in some dirt. Come back a month later and
you can almost pull the stump out by hand.

haha no ministry of environment. Use of a pesticide off label can be big big
money up here.

Same here. Wicked stuff.

Guess I really wanted to say, "Read the entire label, twice.". =)
