did you get the industrial strength roundup? xshub swears by it. He’s constantly having to pour it down the holes where he cuts bamboo out. Our neighbor has a bamboo thicket which of course is insidious and always is popping up in our side yard. We knew bamboo was invasive, but not LOCUST TREES!

What kind of locust trees-honey locust, black locust? Some people plant locust trees here, but they don’t do well, because they are meant for a cooler climate-I don’t know what kind they are, though. One man’s trash tree is a desired one in another state...

We do battle with sumac. They pop up everywhere and grow like crazy. I have a spot in my yard where we once tried to start some “butterfly friendly” plants. Its mostly sumac now. I just chopped down about 20 of them, all new this year. Its not very strong and it smells, but it goes from weed to small tree in no time.
