Default how long between applying glyphosate and chopping?

Hi All
we & the neighbours have a Jerusalem Vine (not sure if that's the
correct name, but never mind) growing between our gardens which I'd like
to
get rid of. The neighbours are happy for me to attack it via our side of
the
fence but I don't want to start going round their side too much to get at
where the lower parts originate.

I am planning to spray the parts which overhang our garden with with
Glyphosate, but I would also like to subsequently cut back as much of the
overhanging vine as possible.

How long should I wait after spraying before cutting back? That is, how
quickly will the Glyphosate travel back to the rest of the plan and do its
nasty business. A day? couple of days? or should I wait a week or so until
it's actually dying off?

Thanks

Somehow there appears to be confusion here. Maybe the OP has set the
speakers too high and some of you don't understand what he/she is saying.
Let me quote ....

"" we & the neighbours have a Jerusalem Vine (not sure if that's the
correct name, but never mind) growing between our gardens which I'd like to
get rid of. The neighbours are happy for me to attack it via our side of the
fence but I don't want to start going round their side too much to get at
where the lower parts originate.""

Now let's take it in simple terms ....... ""which I'd like to
get rid of. The neighbours are happy for me to attack it ""

What part of ""GET RID OF"" do you not understand, given that the OP
carries on to say ""The neighbours are happy for me to attack it ""?

Kindest regards

Mike
