<div dir="ltr">That's good to know. There must be ways that are still avoiding pesticides, but less obtrusive and easier to manage than tarps. Maybe something thick and environmentally safe painted on (if allowed by herbicide regulations), or string/stakes and a biodegradable plastic.<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Oct 19, 2019 at 6:10 PM Mark Frey <<a href="mailto:runcator@gmail.com">runcator@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">It resprouts well from the stump when cut and it does, in general, resprout some from roots.

As part of that work I have been faced with a stand of Viburnum and I have been restricted from using chemicals. I tested a few treatments and learned that tarping is very effective and gained some other insights. It isn't really a robust study but the results are nonetheless conclusive and directly pertinent to land managers. I'm attaching it here in the hopes that others managing woody plants in the mid Atlantic will consider tarping when chemical control is not an option.</div><div><br></div><div>Mark</div></div>
