Grapevine**********

[chupacabra]

I have spent all day cutting down a grapvine and have it down to a cantelope sized root at ground level. Now, How do I kill it? I have heard of driving a small pipe into it and filling the pipe up with diesel and keep it full for a week. What do you guys think? I have been fighting this Grapevine for 20 years, but now it has pissed me off!!!

You are lucky...You don't have bamboo...I would take grapevine over bamboo any day.

There were several products available for grapevine control. Have to see how many are available without a license. I think Tordon was labelled as a stump type killer - brush it on the remaining root. Most foresters would have an updated list or contact the county extension office for a current list of products available.

I have soaked cut off roots with 2,4-d then put a bag or anything that keeps the light off the stump, a bale of hay mulch may also work good. May take a few soaks, but you have to totally kill the roots.

Pathfinder II will do it. Just spray on a fresh cut.

Roundup concentrate-full strength- applied to a fresh cut should kill it dead.

I went to the farm and ranch store in Grapevine, Tx. and they told me this stuff is what everybody uses down here. I will give it a try.


It is "ferti-lome" BRUSH AND STUMP KILLER. Active ingedient is Triclopyr.

Remedy mixed with 2-4-d @1oz each to a gallon will kill most stumps. It is really good for thorny honey locust.
