How can I kill a mini palm tree?

I really want to dig up a Canary Island palm that is growing right up against my house. Besides the poor location, I also just removed a Mexican bird of paradise to the ground immediately adjacent to the palm and I suppose its roots are intertwined (or, at the very least, the bird of paradise's root system will impede digging up the palm).





Any suggestions to get it out? I have it cut to a height of about 2' with all the fronds hacked off.

DONT!





People pay a lot for palm trees and stuff.





My dad was gonig to hack one down but my mum called a place and they came over and quoted $1200 on it!





Ring up places and ask for a quote. Ring more than one place so you arent getting ripped off by one place, and dont mention to the other people the previous quotes though.

Seriously, it does work. Dig a little trench around the base, as close to the base as you can get, and sprinkle 1/2 can of Sani-Flush around it, then add a little water to get it foaming. Be careful, though. If you have pets, this is not a good idea. Also, don't get it on your skin.





Continue every three days for 2 weeks. I guarantee, you will kill it.
Reply:Make some fresh cuts on the fronds and paint on some full strength weedkiller such as GLYPHOSATE onto the fresh cuts. Allow a few weeks for poisin to soak into roots etc and it will die from roots up. If you have any foliage at all, spray them as well
Reply:All you have to do is cut the heart out off any palm and it will die. You will have to dig the stump out anyway if you get a local lawn service to come to your house they will dig it out for free and sell it to a customer.
