Does anyone know how to kill a Camphor Laurel tree.I have a stump which is only about 15cm in diameter and have tipped bleach onto it and it still has not killed it.Any suggestions? I can not dig it out as although the tree stump is only 15cm the roots are really tough to get out.Was to hard for human effort.

Drill several holes on the bark, or make several openings into the bark with a shovel; then place Round Up bush & week killer in the bark openings. The Round Up must be the concentrate (not the ready to use). Re-apply after you see signs of growth.

Drill holes in the top of the stump, fill with stump remover (which is potassium nitrate- you can buy a 1 lb pkg "stump remover" for $5 or a 50 lb bag potassium nitrate fertilizer for $20).
Availability of nitrogen is the rate-limiting factor in the breakdown of all woody materials, such as stumps, hardwood mulch, etc.
Drilling holes & filling with a high nitrogen fertilizer, such as ammonium nitrate will accelerate decomposition of the stump.
In the Amish dairy country, they back their manure wagons up to stumps in newly-cleared pastures, bury the stump underneath a pile of fresh cow/horse manure, and within a year or two, it will have rotted sufficiently that they can hitch to it with a team of horses, and out it comes. Guess if you wanted it to rot away completely, it'd take a bit longer, and maybe another application of manure.

Was told by a tree trimming company in Florida to drench around the tree roots in diluted epsom salts. let me know if this works. I have a camphor tree invasion!

being a stump, it may be best, just to dig it out completely.
