Applications of glyphosate, controlled burns, and extreme pruning will control an undesired ficus tree.

Specifically, no herbaceous or woody plant can survive the three-pronged attack of fire, glyphosate, and super-trimming. The initial response to severe pruning may appear to contradict this deep truth since trimming initially encourages growth. But the plant in question will not survive the repeated stress of chemical, fiery, and shearing assaults and will perish within 1 - 2 years.
