you have to use something like sbk root killer. Or spray the foliage with glycophosphate and repeat in about 2 weeks.

Hi Mookins we used 'root out' on the stumps but David has just told me it is now banned... you could try injecting the stumps with roundup, I did this with something growing through from a neighbours garden and it worked :-)
