repeated doses of boiling water doesn't do it much good

A blowtorch then. Wonder though if both these methods are not more
dangerous....than dabbing the vine with Zero?

Zero doesn't work, it's far too weak. I've foudn it only knocks it back for
a while and it then starts off again. I've been trying to eradicate a huge
wad of from a large bed for at least 10 years and the only thing that seems
to work is tree and blackberry poison which has 50g/L TRICLOPYR present as
Butoxyethanol Ester.
