From what I know of glyphosate's action on photosynthesis and its lack of systemic transport I just don't see how it would work to kill the roots. But there's so much anecdotal evidence of doing and recommending the painting (however much less anecdotal evidence of the results a year later), that it's hard to refute.<BR/><BR/>Aronia arbutifolia is a great choice! Unfortunately a whole host of buggers including Euonymus spp, Eleagnus, and Ligustrum are still being sold in Georgia. (There's a whole nursery devoted to maintaining the cuttings of the UGA Sanford Stadium "hedges", which are privet, and they sell it enthusastically to Georgia football fans who want a little piece of the hedge for themselves!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
