Brambles everywhere!
I have a hawthorn hedge one side and leylandi the other. I have brambles growing both sides. Is there anything I can paint on the leaves to kill them right back to the root? Im fed up of getting caught up in the bloody things when cutting the hedge! |

Hi,
If still available you could use tumbleweed gel ( which glyphosate base) which is painted on the leaves with small brush provided, but it will take time to work down to the roots as it is systemic, also you will be left with dried shoots to clear after some weeks. there is also a touchweeder available . Both these mean spot treating just the brambles and not risking overspray. These also work on convulvulus or bindweed. May need retreating after a while for new growth but is effective. The first sign of it working with brambles is the leaves die back from the edges then the top growth will turn yellow and the whole shoot will die back down the stem. Hope this is of some help regards Cineman "chris thame" wrote in message ... I have a hawthorn hedge one side and leylandi the other. I have brambles growing both sides.

The message
from chris thame contains these words: I have a hawthorn hedge one side and leylandi the other. I have brambles growing both sides. Is there anything I can paint on the leaves to kill them right back to the root? Im fed up of getting caught up in the bloody things when cutting the hedge! Mix up some glyphosate and wallpaper paste and paint it on the youngest leaves and shoots. -- Rusty Emus to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co full-stop uk http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
