Best way to kill Pepper Tree ?

[Daniel Pelletier]

I just moved into a house that had a large Brazilian Pepper(Schinus molle)
which was cut off at ground level. Now it is sprouting up from the roots.
Roundup has no effect. How do I get rid of this tree permanently? If istump
grind it,will it continu to sprout from roots left in the soil? If I dig the
stump out, will it continue to sprout from roots left in the soil? Is there
something I can spray or paint on that is systemic enough to kill it all or
that I can spray on new sprouts? Or if I keep cutting out new sprouts will the
roots they are growing from eventually die out?

There is a plant poison called stump killer. This is what you need for tree
stumps.

Just a footnote:

Isn't the Brazilian Pepper *Schinus terebinthifolia*? The so-called
California Pepper (actually, it comes I believe from Peru) is *Schinus
Molle* (the first "California" Pepper tree in California still grows in
the garden of Mission San Luis Rey outside Oceanside, California).
