Lets just say I have a tree growing where I do not want it

and it can stay there as long as it don't grow anymore.
It is approximately 5 inches across right now. What can
I do to kill it? ...


Simply girdle it.


He can't. The fence he's reaching over is 5' high.

Just leave it alone except for cutting off any growth that appears.
