Best answer!

Sodium chlorate is cheap and effective, but may not be available as it has been used for making explosives. Failing this, glyphosate injected into the trunk will work but you may need specialised equipment.

A bag or two of rock salt, spread around under the tree should, do the job. Either that or cut away six inches of the bark completely around the tree just above the ground, or do both.

Three copper nails two inches long nailed into the base of a tree will kill it within a year.

The tree in question should only be destroyed if it is dying and cannot be saved. Otherwise, the Tree is FINE..it's your attitude towards it that needs to be 'killed'
