Have you tried 2,4-D (herbicide)?
As soon as you cut a bunch of the trunks, coat the top of each one with some concentrated (not quite straight out of the bottle) 2,4-D. Just don't overdo it, since the stuff kills
any plant that has leaves.
Any sap that is flowing down to feed the roots will carry the herbicide into the roots.
