<p class="MsoNormal">After WeedWrench took itself out of biz I wound up getting an UpRooter which was made by a guy who used to work for WW dude. I agree with others that these can be useful tools. I've used it with success on Bush Honeysuckle, Burning Bush,
Multiflora Rose, Japanese Barberry, and even some Asian Wisteria with taproots where vine diameter wasn't greater than about an inch.<o:p></o:p></p>
