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

If you apply this weed killer it will kill the whole plant. There is
no possibilty of you doing what you describe.

As long as you can spray a significant proportion of the plant you will kill
it completely, which is presumably what you and your neighbours desire.
However it can take some time for the plant to go completely brown and die
so I would give it at least a month before physically attacking it or you
may not kill the roots. It may need two applications if it's persistent.

You'll know that the Glyphosate has reached the roots and started to work,
when the leaves begin to go brown. Then you can cut it back.

Spray it on a calm day, and if there are other plants nearby have a can of
water ready to drench them after spraying, just in case of drift.

NB. I will certainly NOT suggest that if it's a large plant the Glyphosate
would work better at double the recommended strength, because that would
be illegal.

As others have said 21-28 days as a rule, I am assuming that killing the
plant completely is what you want?

It will do *exactly* what the OP describes, ie "get rid of" it, "via the OP's side of the fence"

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

The simple answer to your question is to spray, wait until the above
ground growth is dead, then wait about another week or so and chop.
The "another week" allows for the glyphoasate getting properly where
it's got to go. Above ground may well die before the roots have been
attacked properly.

FWIW, I've found that if you get the "pure" glyphosate (you'll find
Bayer Glyphosate all over the place and it's usually cheaper if you
buy it by the 500ml bottle rather than the sachet packs) it'll work
quicker than the various products that contain it.

Hi Harry, Janet

If you apply this weed killer it will kill the whole plant. There is
no possibilty of you doing what you describe.

except that I've done it before - sprayed the thing and the whole plant
hasn't died.

You might argue as to the reasons - insufficient spray, too concentrated/not
concentrated enought, ro whatever. But it's not a black and white situation.

I want to at least get the plant under control, without having to go round
to the neighbour's side and sort it out there. If it dies along the way,
fine by me. But just hacking my part back doesn't work, as evidenced in
previous years. Hence the question.

Common reason for it not killing the plant is being impatient and cutting
off the top growth too soon before the poison has done it work at the roots.
Wait till the whole plant has gone brown, no green at all. Sometimes a
second application is needed.

Don't think you have to wait quite that long with Glyphosate.

In my experience, it's very slow. After a week, you may notice no change. After a few weeks, the
plant is no longer thriving. It can take over a month to get to the stage you describe but the
plant is doomed much earlier.

Belt and braces was what I was suggesting (especially for those nasty weeds
like Bindweed).
