Need Help Killing an Invasive Vine

January 24, 2010 - Posted by Jen

Hi Jen, Nice list! It looks like war over here at my place and I tried to cover up as best I could. I have a problem vine called “cats claw” that of course made it through the freeze just wonderfully. Nothing kills this stuff. It overruns everything. Have you ever found a way to eradicate this stuff? We spent over $1000 a few years back to get it out of a dozen hackberry trees before it smothered them.  Carla C.

Thank you Carla I will let Jeff know you liked his list.  I asked Matt Raney from All in One Nursery what you should do and he says, “Boiling water works pretty good and it doesn’t cost much……”  I look forward to visiting Matt’s nursery next month.

Please let me know your results.  You may have to repeat this a few times.  Send me some pictures if you can.  If that does not work I suggest boiling vinegar.

    Thanks so much for the list plants that did/didn’t survive the freezing weather. It will help when I replace the plants that didn’t make it.

    At the Master Gardeners’ sale I bought a bare roots Pakastani mulberry tree. Should I plant it now or store it in wet mulch?
