Copper is very toxic to plants, it's toxic full stop. You could try hammering some short pieces of tube into the ground around it. Or maybe some copper sulphate solution.

I've killed off a willow stump by hammering short pieces into it, not tried copper sulphate and an ex neighbour managed to kill all his standard roses when, instead of support canes, he used lengths of copper tube he had laying about :roll:
