Round-up.....it's absorbed thru plant leaves then into stem/stalk then root system killing plant. you need to add food coloring so you can tell where you are spraying ,hold sprayer low down onto plant leaves you are spraying,don't spray in wind/slightest breeze,don't get in wet solution(it dries quickly),wear disposable gloves.....follow the safety instructions on bottle, it has always said "hazardous" & the safety instructions have always been on containers. Buying concentrate & mixing yourself is best. just respray asap if you see any new growing and do not let plants get flowers/seeds to spread even more. the more you kill just the tops the more the roots/rhizomes spread underground. just look for new plants starting and spray it before it gets out of control.get a good 2 gallon pump sprayer and not a back pack,because if it leaks on you well you could be joining all the civil suits of people who did not heed hazardous warnings. Put on some good leather gloves and a thick long sleeved jacket(leather works best) then begin cuttin out stalks/stems you don't want from the bottom up. Black berries heal over(the stalks)after cutting within seconds so after you cut each one pour Round-up onto open end.Round-Up works best/fastest(a few hrs-24hrs) when the plant is in growing stage so after you have cut them stems/stalks off and removed them wait 2-3 days until you see new leaves growing then put the Round-Up on the new leaves,without getting spray on other plants just coat the leaves heavily several coats, make sure you add the food coloring to it so you can see what you are getting it on.you will need to keep repeating spraying new growth asap when you see it over next week maybe 2. Since I don't know how much or big it is or how old the plant is-the woodier the stalks the longer it may take to get all new growth killed off. Be sure to look for runners that come up around the area since the roots will try to recover the top being chopped off spray them heavily so it gets absorbed & kills plant roots. All that being said are you sure you want them all gone, good clean homegrown Blackberries are expensive in stores,good food source for us as well as many birds and animals, bugs too.
