chop it down, spray it with weed killer, strip its bark, uproot it and leave it in the sun to wither and die. why do you want to kill an olive tree though. olives are delicious and oh-so-good for you.

In dry States where Russian Olive trees line the irrigation ditches, it is a major problem. Cut it down! Spray the stump with a specialty herbicide such as tordon or picloram.
