I have to remove about 2 dozen entrenched, 50-year-old barberry
bushes, and would appreciate any advice on how this should be done.
I'd like to replant in the same area, which makes me leery about
cutting them down to the roots and then applying chemicals.

Pull them out with a come-a-long by fastening it to them in pairs
crankk the lever and the weaker one will pull out. When you get to the
last one you have to find something else to fasten to or dig.
