Doug, thank you for telling me. We tried what the local Cooperative
Extention suggested, which was cut it down and spray regrowth with Roundup.
Guess cutting it down accomplished something because it couldn't spew more
seeds, but it kept recovering even though we sprayed it repeatedly. We
haven't tried full-strength Roundup on the stump as you suggested. Under a
little tree we haven't tackled yet, the seedlings look like ground cover.
