Back in FLA, I used to help try to control invasive plants on state land. We would use a plant killer mixed in diesel fuel that was in a 1-2 gallon sprayer. For trees we would remove the bark around the trunk and spray. For bush sized plants, we would just scrape away the bark with the boot and then spray. Some of these plants were very invasive and if you just killed the trunk, the roots would still sprout. One of the tree species would sprout from a dead trunk lying on the ground. The plant killer was to make sure the roots and trunk would not sprout.
I can't remember the plant killer. Seems like it was a 2,4 X chemical but this was decades ago. On our place I have used the DR mower to cut down Russian Olive and then spray the roots with Round Up which seems to work.
