At least that's a tree. Cutting down a tree is pretty doable, not like Japanese Knotweed, which is fucking unkillable

There's a smother option but it takes 5ish years of leaving smothered.

There's the roundup spray option, which is probably the most effective currently? It's critical you spray at the right time (after it flowers)

I saw one option of repeatedly cutting it to eventually starve the plant of energy. I suspect there's some specifics there about when it's ok to cut though.
