| Kind neighbour planted this against my fence and then had the cheek to pin
it to the wood for support. I have just removed it and dug up what I can of
the base (! year old) but of course the roots are thumb thick and go
straight down.As impossible to dig out I have cut them off about a foot down
and poured glycosphate into the hole to cover the cut end hoping that will
do something.Will that suffice or is there more I can do? If it sprouts
growth again will round up do anything?

I hope it's on your side of the fence! Yes, Roundup on green leaves
will kill it off if it shoots up again, though you may need a second
application. My understanding of glyphosate is that it has no effect
at all on roots; but I don't know if that's true when it's applied to
cut surfaces.

I can't help but I am having the same problem with a Russian Vine I
foolishley planted and it is taking over our Bramley Apple tree. I would

I agree, Root Out, it kills anything in the ground and is also used on green
leaves, then turns into fertilser after 8 wks, or so the packet say's
