I’m confused why the invasive vine shouldn’t be used for crafting? It’s already pretty much established across the us, so seed dispersal isn’t really a concern beyond what would happen naturally on the landscape, and using it to craft would at least kill or harm already established vines.

Why is there no mention of urushiol? To be "properly protected" can imply a range of things. Please note this plant contains the same oil (urushiol) as does poison ivy. It will give (most people but not all) a nasty rash if it contacts the skin. Be mindful not to scratch your nose or rub an eye when working with this stuff... NEVER build it up into a brush pile and burn it.

That info is no longer available.

I have two young vines growing around my spice bush, they are similar but different, they're so young, they aren't ready to flower, hope can i tell without flowers or fruits

Thank you very much for this video and the information shared about this tree. Good images and illustrations. Truly helpful in understanding its characteristics and very interesting.

stinky

why arent illegal aliens also considered invasive? like a stupid bush is going to destroy the country if we dont get rid of it. why isnt grass invasive? how about worms, they move right in and take over the garden? a bunch of nonsense.

I love ‘em. They’re beautiful and can grow on poor sites. The wood looks and smells wonderful. I know they wipe out the apple, but apple isn’t native. I planted one near my front door and appreciate it every day.

Lean on foxhome anhydrous plant.

Are the white lowercase letters WDAY beside the white channel number 6 on the white ABC logo next to the white uppercase words Fargo television and beside the white - after Marv BossArt and NajLa AmundSon meet Dana Mogck on the WDAY closing @ 6:29 pm rerunning on ABC in 1999?

Hi... this video maker is an enemy of nature and humanity and animals because it is encouraging to cut down world's greatest SHRUB/HERB which is 💯 cure for all type of cancers, bone fractures etc. Thanks

That’s juniper…it has juniper berries. Why is it called cedar?

My grandpa used to have a house up there. My mom & I would go stay up there a lot in the summers. I’m 30 now, my grandpa nor my mom is no longer with us. Have been curious how the little town has been doing, I want to come check it out soon.

Herbicide should be Triclopyr, at least 8% for spraying on a stump. Be careful with it, it’s sticks around longer than Roundup (glyphosphate). Mix it with “liquid harvest laser blue indicator” to see where you have applied it.

How and why ?

What kind of herbicide is recommended for spraying the stumps after cutting?

Pull bearer is a complete joke except maybe if you want to plant or create an unobstructed trail or other similar access. Otherwise it is a stupid use of your time and energy. Never seen any real progress using them given the time and energy people commit to using them. Limited application tool and if not applicable has no place in your arsenal.

Suggested herbicide? What is used in this video?

these vines came out of nowhere on my property now they are everywhere! they seem to sprout everywhere I pull up the vines then 3 weeks later they are all back or in different places, used to just have a japanese honeysuckle problem, they are harder to pull up because many times the vine will break , but thats one good think with the bittersweet the vines are stronger so you can pull it up by the roots too!

I hate these things, they’ve taken out several trees on our property. I can see the skinny little vines from far out now and go pull it. Good to know to bring Herbalife.

Helpful with great visuals. Comment for improvement--speak more slowly. If this wasn't captioned (thank you for that), I would have to listen a few times to understand. The speaker speaks many words abruptly and is hard to understand individual words. I see that you won awards, congrats! but you still speak too quickly.

We have a major problem in my area with these killer vines choking and killing trees. The problem is who do I call to help with the problem? These vines are everywhere around my city near rivers , by the roads it’s so awful to see and nobody is doing anything about it! A lot of the trees are on city property. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

I have 17 acres in Missouri in an old forest that’s been left unmanaged. There are many red cedars on my property and I absolutely love them. I’m currently removing small understory saplings of various types to allow my cedars to spread out. I’ve also cut away many if the lower branches because of the overcrowding. Its so beautiful against the backdrop of our pond. So much wildlife in and among our trees.

As eastern and western red cedar are not cedars, but junipers, they share characteristics with other junipers. While they provide organic matter to the soil around them their "leaves" tend to not break down into humus and act as a deterant to grasses. Some birds and squirrels use the bark for nesting. The wood is brittle so that they don't do well ice buildup in the winter.

Stupid to kill the best herb u have

Honestly we have 5 biomes - look up the boreal forest in Minnesota. It is a mixed forest in the northeastern region with the boundary waters being within the boreal forest, technically. I think our MN map should be updated to reflect this (especially since we included the little Aspen region). Thanks for a great video!!

Do authorities manage these invasives?

"do not pull vines" Oops

I have made reasonable progress getting rid of most of this stuff just by cutting off its sores to the ground. Within a couple seasons I was able to get rid of most of it but the Japanese honeysuckle is far more challenging

The birds brought me 9 of these via there droppings on my little half acre property here near the lower Kaskaskia river near Baldwin, Illinois. I love them, they’re so beautiful. It’s been amazing how they have been surviving in the under story and covered beneath some shrubs on my property, I think they are being sustained by an arbuscular mycorrhizal root network. Thank you for the information, this is very interesting. I want to visit Minnesota, in so thankful that you people haven’t let people devour your forest like so much of the world. Please keep it beautiful and rewild the places that man has destroyed, for the sake of all mankind. Peace and blessings to you

We need to change the name to Asian Bitter and continue our Asian hate.

Hi

Thank you for the tips, i live in southern Maine in some backwoods and i HAVE to get rid of this oriental bittersweet stuff.

very interesting. My dad had the bakery there in the early to mid 60s

What herbicide do you recommend?

I mean does it _really_ squeeze the life out of it's host?

this plant is great in a survival situation

I HATE asian bittersweet.

I love the enthusiasm in this video. I can't wait to get out there and wage war!

Thank you for doing this

I just started feeding the birds maybe 2 years ago. Could it have grown that much ??,.. probably vines are about 8ft. And a smalled brand system

that’s my great grandma 😁

If you don't like it, make it into tongue and groove flooring and sell it to me.

My father came from there's and I still have several relatives there. I THINK THAT he would be so unhappy to see that you invited others from the South to St.James!

Love it!

Iron Mountain Michigan. Loaded. Especially the north side. The woods over by the ski jump… Started all over the place. People are still planting them here. Iron Mountain Michigan is in the UP. Why is nobody telling the public? Fantastic video, but I think your tone is too lighthearted. Fire and brimstone - that should be your tone.

I got buckthorn and high bush cranberry growing in the same area, so i have got to be careful with my methods

What herbicide do you use

Can we get seed
