Default 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.
