What can I use to poison the purple flowered tibouchina plant?

I have tried drilling deep holes and pouring in blackberry poison and have also tried roundup. I have also chopped some of the roots. I don't just want to cut it down and leave a stump I want to totally get rid of it. It's trunk is fairly large and has many main roots sprouting off the base. Any suggestions I would be apprecaitive. thanks

Why not try digging a hole under the roots in the ground and start a fire under it to see if you can kill it that way and to burn the root and trunk system otherwise you may have to get someone in with a stump grinder but that will probably cost a bit of money.
Reply:If its trunk and roots are as sprawling as you have suggested, it is most likely mis-identified as they are shrubs (Tibouchina urvilleana) and do not develop as you have suggested.
