At least that's a tree. Cutting down a tree is pretty doable, not like Japanese Knotweed, which is fucking unkillable
We have a saying here that applies to Japanese Knotweed: if you can't beat it, eat it.
The young plants have a rhubarb like taste, we made cake with it once.
What do you do with noxious weeds like giant hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum)?
Or bittersweet.
Honeysuckle is the worst
Or garlic mustard
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.
