I agree with others that pulling it out does not work; in fact, it just makes it worse. I had good success last Fall cutting the vines about 6" from ground and treating cuts with triclopyr. It's a time-consuming pain but it really works because almost none came back this Spring.

I have been battling this vine for the last few years. It's killing all our trees along the roads and highways in Connecticut. I would recommend not pulling the vine up because you will never get up all the root and if you leave a tiny bit in the soil it will sprout many new shoots. The only thing that works is cut the vine and paint 100 percent Round up or similar products due not add water to the poison it needs to be the concentrate right out of the bottle.

I appreciate the video very educational. Might I suggest that you do not need the music and that it’s actually kind of distracting from comprehending what you’re saying. Thank you for making this video.

Think it had to do with the banning of the ddt chemical back in the 60's?

Can't stress it enough. Don't cut it if you can't treat the stump. You'll be sorry. Going back and having to cut it again later is much worse than doing it right the 1st time

never ending job trying to get rid of these, have three acres mostly wooded and constantly pulling these up. afraid to use glyphosate though. just dont trust poisons for a way to deal with living things

How long have you been removing it? Have you gotten it under control to an extent?

@blakespower 8 ай бұрын

I didnt know they were invasive till about right before covid, because a ice storm we had, I noticed them taking over an area where I planted Redwood trees. and no they arent under control, I think I got most of the large vines but they still pop up if the vines were too large to pull out of the ground, I am taking the bamboo approach, I had invasive bamboo also I just kept cutting them down every year for about 3 years then they finally died, but birds spread the bittersweet seeds so its just a constant management thing , because its on all the areas properties @@harrison8749

That's a great and helpful video! Where can one purchase glyphosate?

If I wanted to take a Johnny Appleseed approach to spreading milkweed, where should I plant seeds? I’m concerned about prevalence of pesticides in the soil of roadside ditches, for example.

I should add that foliar does not work in the Spring, for just the reason you noted.

Thanks so much for your comment.

A kindred spirit. Fine video. The place looks like ours. We've logged several hundred hours using just this approach with 100% success. We've actually done this through the Spring as well with equal effectiveness. We use undiluted triclopyr. In a few places where there are suffocating mats of bittersweet, we resort to a foliar spray (which I hate doing and only use as a last resort). The temp needs to be 65-80 degrees with a wind speed less than 8 mph and no gusting. As triclopyr only affects broadleaves, it's a bit safer for foliar than glyphosate.

While this is a good start, anyone who is planning to cut & stump treat should know what any of the native look-alikes are in their area ( Northern spicebush ~ Lindera benzoin ~ comes to mind for southeast PA), what time of year is best to treat invasives with glyphosate AND read all of the precautions/instructions on the glyphosate package since it is a "probable carcinogen".
