QuestionThere are trees in my far back yard with vines hanging like the ones that Tarzan used to swing on. Today I pulled one and liquid started falling out like water and continued. It was just like a faucet. I went back a half hour later and it was still leeking fast. There are also branches that are starting to grow like little trees. I'm not sure that I can cut them with my lawn mower. Can you please advise?
AnswerSpray the foliage of the vines or paint the freshly cut vine with a herbicide called Roundup. The vine will take up the herbicide and kill the root system of the vine. Roundup will kill any green plant it gets on so make sure it is not sprayed on any green foliage of a plant not wanting to be killed, Spraying Roundup on the bark of tree will not kill the tree but will kill the vines.
