One Weed to Rule Them All (Calystegia silvatica)
Large bindweed is a southern European species that was spread all over
the world by fools who thought it would be an attractive garden plant - BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA! It has flowers the size of Morning Glory and will climb and cover anything it can reach. In this picture it has annexed some corporate landscaping: the rowan tree will be next. Fortunately it dies down in winter, allowing you to prune it with a flamethrower and regain lost territory, at least until next year.

This is one weed I do use Glyphosate on, the roots are so numerous and break so easily it's impossible to dig out so I hit it with Glyphosate and kill it and it's roots. Sometimes needs more than one application but it will die in the end. -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |
