If your goal is to kill the plant, girdling usually takes place closer to the ground. You will have new growth the entire 3 ft to the ground and probably some suckers as well. I suggest immediately applying glyphosate or triclopyr to the fresh stumps of new growth. It just takes a drop or two. I apply with a small foam paintbrush. To avoid herbicide use, you have to keep pruning new growth every few weeks – I’m guessing here – throughout summer and fall to exhaust the root system. Allowing leaves to stay on the plant starts to rebuild the roots and prolongs the process.
