If this is a big shrub, then you would want to cut it and then treat the fresh cuts using a triclopyr herbicide such as Fertilome Brush Killer and Stump Killer. You can use a dedicated paintbrush to apply the product full strength directly onto the fresh cuts to prevent regrowth.

Ranger Pro moves through the plant from the point of foliage contact to and into the root system. Visible effects are a gradual wilting and yellowing of the plant which advances to complete browning of above-ground growth and deterioration of underground plant parts. Effects are visible on most annual weeds within 2 to 4 days, but on most perennial weeds may not occur for 7 days or more (some weeds require more than one application). Extremely cool or cloudy weather following treatment may slow activity of this product and delay development of visual symptoms. Annual weeds are easiest to control when they are small. Best control of most perennial weeds is obtained when treatment is made at late growth stages approaching maturity. See the “WEEDS CONTROLLED” sections of this label for specific weed rates. Always use the higher product application rate in the range when weed growth is heavy or dense, or when weeds are growing in an undisturbed (non-cultivated) area. Reduced weed control may result from treating weeds with disease or insect damage, weeds heavily covered with dust, or weeds under poor growing conditions.
Ranger Pro Herbicide is applied at 2 quarts-10 gallons for 100 gallons depending on targeted weeds. Please find the rate chart on page 3 of the product label.
