I would just zap it with glyphosate and get the root for
sure too (shrug). Don't have to handle it that way. Let it
die back to the point that you can't tell what it was
anymore. By next spring it shouldn't be of any problem.

If you have desirables mixed in with it, hold something like
cardboard up by it as a backstop so the over spray doesn't
hit them.


How do you spray it when it's growing up a tree?

That takes a two stage approach. I would cut the vine off a
few feet above the ground and wait maybe a year. Then spray
the new growth good that you can easily reach. Keep a close
eye on it and hit anymore new growth if the first dose
doesn't do it in.
