Please does anyone have a foolproof and/or easy method of killing a
Russian vine without killing everything else!

We`ve been invaded and it will soon swallow EVERYTHING!

Hi Pat

All that is need is to cut the stems as they appear from the ground.

HOWEVER, please bear in mind that they are a self layering and like
Blackberries, as soon as they touch the ground, off they go again.

SO, keep and eye on the area and keep the hoe/secateurs handy.

There is a place for Russian Vine and if you visit the Isle of Wight look at
the wonderful one in Newport on the exit from the car park of Marks and
Sparks :-))))

As a screen they are superb but need a very hefty support and MUST be kept
away from neighbours trees ;-(
Russian Vine is like Leylanddii, 'There is a time and place for everything'

One question. Why have you got one?

Mike
Keep that hoe going after you have cut ALL stems ;-)
