only if you use round up. it is a very invasive tree and take a lot to kill root system . even fire ants do not affect the roots and stump till it is completely dead
Yes.
probably not.
Cutting a tree down dos not kill it. The roots are still alive and well and often put up shoots from the cut off trunk to replace the original trees canopy. Killing the root of a tree after it is cut down often entails digging the roots up or injecting the stump with herbicide or other poisons.
The roots provide the life source to the tree , so, cut the roots, kill the tree.
When you cut the tree down the roots will live on and continue to support your slope. Slowly another tree will start to grow. However, if you kill the roots they will eventually rot out and your slope will lose it's support.
Even if you cut it down, the roots will still grow back. You'll have to excavate ALL of the roots and the tree itself to get rid of it.
Usually, if there is no source of sunlight, they will die. Sometimes there is enough stored food in the roots that they can force a shoot up to the sunlight and regrow. Without access to sunlight, they will eventually rot away.
