what is the best way to remove (well, kill) a small wisteria (2 shoots, both
under 1cm diameter) which is growing not only in a weird spot, but also next
to the phone line marker (i know for a fact that the phone line - don't
ask! - is not buried the full 70cm deep).

is carefully digging down a little bit, & then pulling it, going to work?
would zero be better? for some reason i am taken with the idea that wisteria
fights back from removal & will just become a pest if i don't get it right
the first time. is this true?

mainly i desperately want to avoid cutting or pulling up the phone line
(again!!!!!!!)

thanking you!

In my experience, dig and pull is your best bet. A mature wisteria can
travel *miles*, but if yours is only little *get it out now*!!! I
absolutely love the stuff, but given the chance, it will pick up your
house and walk away with it! =:-0
