I have found a very small amount of Garlon (Triclopyr) injected into the cambium layer of the tree with a syringe, does the trick. And is by far the easiest way to go. No need to cut and such. Another way of applying it is to drill small holes diagonally downwards and fill them. Literally a few teaspoons worth spread around different sides of the tree and it will die.
The thing about Garlon is to use it very sparingly, and prevent any excess from being introduced into the environment. The stuff does not break down as readily as other products. But conversely all that is needed is a very small amount and it works on a wide variety of plants that other, more popular agents, such as Roundup (Glyphosate) do not.
Up in Volcano, especially in the Farm Lots where Rubus Idaeus (raspberries) is a real problem, it is great.
