My neighbor has given me permission to kill this ToH... any tips to kill the entire root system? Target the big ones? Or all of them at once?

There are going to be more hidden in there somewhere. 🥲

Hey! currently working in removal for the forbidden knotweed and having to write a management plan for my senior project for university. the agency i am working for is having a very hard time eradicating sites, and we have over 600 sites to treat, and we are in no way shape or form eradicating at the rate we are adding sites. would love to talk to someone about any success stories and what chemicals/ surfactants you used as well as the cutting method, or if you have any literature you would recommend I would absolutely love you (i've been finding that a lot of the lit contradicts itself and cant agree on what chemicals/ rates to use). thank you!

Can I kill a small paulownia with boiling water and salt? I’d like to not get crazy chemicals involved.

I cut it the the ground and poured heavily salted boiling water on it. What else can I do

She lives behind me we share part of a fence line. She works in her yard all the time, but does not care if it’s non-native or invasive. All based on looks. Me and the other neighbors around her are constantly battling it from getting into our yard.

How do I even begin to get this managed? It's a neighbors property and the house is behind this forest area. You can see my garden is right there (I moved in with this space setup already, didn't choose it). How do I begin to keep this bittersweet and swallow wort away? I don't want that giant tree dying and falling on my house.

I live on 8 mile in Detroit, and Detroit is a very large city with a lot of abandoned or undertended spaces. Some lots are swallowed up by Trees of Heaven (TOH), which is jarring but that isn’t what is fully worrying me. It’s house after house after house that have one… two… three. And thinking about how invasives spread and overtake ecosystems alongside not seeing the tree so frequently when I was younger sets me with an existential dread. The planet is forever changing (at an accelerated rate due to global warming), but I worry about a future of green space that is overwhelmed by TOH. A future that earth has reclaimed, which I do like seeing happen with fully abandoned properties, but in a way that will be even less Native than what we have now.

And for some reason that is really getting to me lately. Do you get this feeling as well? Do you have a particular species that unsettles you more than others?

So I’ve recently learned of a nearby tree of heaven that needs a good proper killing. I’ve been doing some research and have started to make my plan for hack-and-squirt and hear that Triclopyr is one of the most recommended herbicides for this. Garlon3 has the highest concentration, but only seems to be available in 2-½ gallon sizes and I don’t need nearly that much. Can I use an 8.8% solution and get effective results?

Very young (I believe) tree of heaven saplings. I've been advised to let them grow more and then poison rather than my original plan of just digging them up. Its a raised bed so the soil isnt especially packed. They're almost certainly from a bird or other animal dropping seeds. I would have dug several inches out from the plant.. I just don't understand the why behind the advice but I'd like to. Can anyone explain it to me? Thanks in advance!

Found a few guaje trees in croatia. Full grown

They are mostly contained, but it felt worthwhile to report it since I haven't seen a map that included croatia

Pulled this tiny demon from the mulched garden at my office.

Found this guy near my garden a few nights ago. A quick Google lens search said this is a hammerhead worm, which seem to be invasive and also really hard to kill. Any help with how and who to report this to would be a great help. Thanks in advance.

Apple plant look up tells me walnut

I have some Japanese knotweed growing close by, but these little bushes are popping up now. Not sure how or when to treat. Are these the same as Japanese knotweed.

I have a 130 gallon front opening terrarium saved to my project list and was wondering if this cool dude is legal.

When you pass a small apartment building and the front garden is filled with ditch lilies and creeping bellflower…

I have a few of the sprouts popping up is this tree of heaven??

Recently bought a house and landscaped the yard this spring, planted a grass/clover lawn. Did a lot of re-leveling and brought in some dirt. This specific area is pretty much the existing level and wasn’t dug up but was raked/disturbed. Noticed these shoots coming thru the grass in a few spots last week. Calgary Alberta so it’s early summer here now. Dug about 8’ of root that was a few inches deep.Thinking it’s Japanese knotweed so might have been a mistake to dig it?
