How can I kill a mini palm tree?

I really want to dig up a Canary Island palm that is growing right up against my house. Besides the poor location, I also just removed a Mexican bird of paradise to the ground immediately adjacent to the palm and I suppose its roots are intertwined (or, at the very least, the bird of paradise's root system will impede digging up the palm).

Any suggestions to get it out? I have it cut to a height of about 2' with all the fronds hacked off.

Make some fresh cuts on the fronds and paint on some full strength weedkiller such as GLYPHOSATE onto the fresh cuts. Allow a few weeks for poisin to soak into roots etc and it will die from roots up. If you have any foliage at all, spray them as well

Sani-Flush.

Seriously, it does work. Dig a little trench around the base, as close to the base as you can get, and sprinkle 1/2 can of Sani-Flush around it, then add a little water to get it foaming. Be careful, though. If you have pets, this is not a good idea. Also, don't get it on your skin.

Continue every three days for 2 weeks. I guarantee, you will kill it.

DONT!

People pay a lot for palm trees and stuff.

My dad was gonig to hack one down but my mum called a place and they came over and quoted $1200 on it!

Ring up places and ask for a quote. Ring more than one place so you arent getting ripped off by one place, and dont mention to the other people the previous quotes though.

All you have to do is cut the heart out off any palm and it will die. You will have to dig the stump out anyway if you get a local lawn service to come to your house they will dig it out for free and sell it to a customer.
