You could try the old trick of banging in a copper nail. The theory is the copper is supposed to poison the tree and kill it - not sure how well it works.

I tried it on a monster of a mock orange that was killing a holly tree in our garden - the mock orange hasn't been seen for two years but there is some regrowth or possibly a new seeding in the same spot this year.
