My landlord wants us to remove some very productive Apple trees and we decided to offer them to a gardener at a local convent. But if this is an invasive species in FL, you're probably better finding a carpenter or artist who can use the wood. Good luck!

It's an herbicide that readily biodegrades within a couple months, and in fact has been approved for use by FSC (Forest Stewardship Council). How about Fusilade?

However, you could probably just cut it and let it cure for a few months before putting it to use. From the picture, it sure doesn't look big enough to do something useful. Maybe put that bad boy through a wood chipper and make some mulch?
