Suppression of mustang grapes
In a small portion of my yard mustang grapes have established
themselves. Originally this happened on the other side of a fence hidden from my sight by a passiflora vine on the fence itself. Last year the grapevine engulfed the passiflora to the point that it killed it, and did a fairly good job at engulfing a ~5 year old pecan sapling. Over the winter I cut back all of the dead foliage and the pecan tree is now thriving, but I don't want to replant along the fence unless and until I can kill the currant. Glyphosate herbicides don't seem to be making much of a permanent dent; the vines continue to return although in somewhat sickly form. The former owner buried enough broken concrete, in several hundred pound slabs, that it would take earth moving equipment to root out the vines. Should I simply continue regular applications of the glyphosate herbicide and be patient? What is the city using to control mustang grapes along the Town Lake greenbelt, is it working, and is it available to non-professionals? Any advice? Thanks, -- Mike Harris Austin, TX |
