Ann from Terry, Ms writes
You can kill and remove small Chinese tallow trees less than 3 feet tall with a shovel and a saw. If you don't want the tree to come back you should apply a stump-killing herbicide such as Fertilome Brush Killer and Stump Killer to the fresh tree stump. Fertilome Brush Killer and Stump Killer does persist in the soil so if you do treat the soil the manufacturer recommends that you wait 6-8 months before you replant anything in the area.
