Wow.
I've never found one that deep. :-)
I've never had to dig more than 10 to 12 inches down to get them!

But, my topsoil here is not very deep either. Lots of layered rocks
anywhere from 3" to 24" down. I've ended up doing mostly raised beds.

I didn't find them to be shallow. One I dug out went down about 18 inches.
Maybe that's what you are calling shallow? Either way, I just keep cutting
it
at the soil level when I weed the beds.

Rhizome.

And they are fairly shallow.
I just dig them out and track the root runner until I find them all!

I have found nothing other than to put the pruners deep into the soil and
cut
them off the minute they show up. Eventually the tuber or rhizome (not
sure
which) will run out of energy and dry up.

Hello group,
Just finished building a house in Bastrop county between Bastrop and
Mckinney Roughs. Under many of my trees are these tough vines with
thorns
that don't seem to respond to vegitation killer. These vines have heart
shaped leaves which are dark green with white spots on them and grow
fairly
fast and the vine sorta grows in a slight zig-zag. HOW can I get rid of
them? I am trying to rid myself of them prior to landscaping the
flowerbeds
under the trees. Strange thing too they only seem to grow under the oak
and
cedars..
Thanks so much!!!
John
