Wild blackberry vine...how to remove it for good?

by Steffany

Answered

Please somebody help me. The previous owners planted a wild blackberry vine in the backyard. I want it out! We've been here for 2 yrs now and i can't get it to die. I've googled everything and nothing works. We have an orange tree right beside it so I'm afraid whatever i pour or spray will kill the orange tree.

We cant mow over it or anything else like that because we have rocks where the vine started.

HELP!

  Yep I've tried this...digging them up by the root. Going way underneath it to make sure Ive gotten the entire thing. Back breaking work. They were gone for about three weeks and then started popping up again

Oh dear, I'm not sure if you saw this video. It looks like the lady had a similar problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZAVQWMNVN4. Best of luck, it seems it's not an easy fix and does take a few years to get rid of it completely

  Thank you. I too have a weed barrier in the backyard where they're growing. Now I know I'm not alone. Her problem in the video is so much worse than mine. If i dont get a handle on them...this will be me soon.
