Ammonium sulphamate. You must be aware that adjacent trees of the same species could be killed if they have originated from suckers of a single parent tree. Many species have root grafts and poisoning one tree can lead to the death of, or damage to, several trees.

in the UK the following species are particularly susceptible (this list is by no means exhaustive:

Fagus
Acer
Populus
Salix
Ulmus
Malus

Application of pesticides may be regulated in your country/state. Be aware that all pesticides can be hazardous to health and instructions and precautions on the label must be adhered to, not only for your safety but also other humans and animals.
