Around here some folks call them Honeysuckle vines, some call them vines, some call them trees. Just take a pruner and clip them of even with the ground and remove them. If you do not care about the rest of the plants mixed in with them just use a string trimmer with a cutting blade on it. Your agriculture extension office can give you an ID of any plant.

Thank you for your feedback I'm still not sure if this is an actual honeysuckle or not the branches at the base of the root are about an inch thick resembles bamboo...hallow in the middle

Have you tried round-up.

It's a huge zombie weed that feeds on landscaping. Spray it with diesel and torch it, just kidding dont really do that. Try some total brush killer.

Yes, a total brush killer type of formulation would be much better than Roundup. Is this thing an annual or perennial?

In commercial agriculture, we see limitations of Roundup effectiveness all the time. It is not that good on morningglories, for example. The trend is that is also weak on anything that has a hairy leaf, "woody" stems, and also weak on perennials.

I would suggest visiting your local garden centre to see if they have any suitable products :smile:

I have the same thing here in Ohio. I use Round up Poison Ivy/Tough Brush Killer. Works Fine. I'll post a pick later today

It looks like Himalayan Honeysuckle.
