<html><head></head><body>If herbicide is not possible, have had personal success cutting it without pulling. You do need to repeat the process multiple times and keep an eye out for it for a few years. But being careful not to pull, but to just cut it does not seem to spread. Interestingly it would come up in the spring and fall only. Once the summer heat started I would not see any growth.<div><div><br></div><div>Another case we are currently working on was dug up last fall. We have not seen any spread, but it is popping up similar to when I cut it but in smaller amounts. Given Marc’s a statement I will make sure they keep an eye out for growth for a little more then 10’ away.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div>-- <br>Heidi</div></div> <p class="gmail_quote" style="color:#000">On June 15, 2021 at 4:43:45 PM, Elizabeth Mizell (<a href="mailto:beth@blueridgeprism.org">beth@blueridgeprism.org</a>) wrote:</p> <blockquote type="cite" class="gmail_quote"><span><div><div></div><div>
