Yes, Roundup (Glyphosate) will knock it back.

I cut down a Russian Olive last year, sprayed a couple times with a combination of Roundup and Mecamine-D (a 2,4-D family product), both near full strength (per mixing instructions). I had shoots about 18" high and I soaked the foliage, top and bottom surfaces of the leaves. I just noticed a singk=le shoot last night (about 4" tall) that I will have to spray, but its about time to declare victory!

The 2,4-D family herbicides have a systemic action that typically does a better job of getting the roots of broadleaf plants (besides not harming your grass).

HTH,
