Rhododendron removal

I am looking for some advice on removing a very overgrown rhododendron. It has grown all around a small apple tree and 2 small plum trees. It has created a thick tangle of branches and has also rooted into the soil at multiple places. We inherited it in this state from the previous owners of the house.
Am I correct in thinking that it is no good for the apple and plum trees and needs to be removed? What is the best way to remove its roots, I expect they will be very tricky to dig out especially with the other trees growing in between them. If I was to apply some kind of weedkiller to the cut stumps will this go into the soil and also poison the fruit trees?
