Aloha,

Anyone have successful strategies for suppressing/removing flowering
quince?  The stuff is rooted deep, deep in my housemates' back yard,
running out in various directions, etc.  They'd like to put in a few
fruit trees but the quince is "in the way" at present.  They're fairly
committed to not using poison, but after digging by hand for half a day
and finding out just how deep and spread out it is they're talking
backhoe...I'm hoping there's some less drastic options?
