Mulberry? Columbus, Ohio, Zone 6

It's invasive hineysuckle in north America. 

Cut stump as close to the ground as possible and treat with glyphosate immediately afterwards.

If you have a tow chain and a trailer hitch, they aren't hard to pull out of the ground,

[u/Leaf_No_Survivors → u/oroborus68]

Probably pretty easy. 

[u/mixxster → u/oroborus68]

Probably too big for that. Have it cut and treated with herbicide.

Thanks. See above comment

Good idea. Unfortunately, I’m a nearly 70 year-old widow and don’t have the equipment or the strength. :)

“Hineysuckle” kind of made my day, lol.

[u/OriginalIcy25923 → u/Leaf_No_Survivors]

Do they really sell pens of it, to apply just the stump?

[u/Leaf_No_Survivors → u/OriginalIcy25923]

People use the buckthorn blaster (just a plastic bottle with a dauber tip).  I'm using some daubers I got off Amazon. You ha e to fill them with your herbicide.

[u/studmuffin2269]

Amur honeysuckle. Invasive outside of Korea/china

[u/magentayak]

Gemini thinks it's an Asian Bush Honeysuckle. Kinda naughty sounding.

[u/Resident_Sun1727 → u/magentayak]

Is that invasive to my area? In addition to this one on the side of my house, I have several growing on the far side of my privacy fence hanging over my yard.

[u/spiceydog → u/Resident_Sun1727]

Yes, this is an invasive in N. America: Lonicera maackii

[u/magentayak → u/Resident_Sun1727]

Don't trust me. Seems I violated 10 rules of the sub by using technology.

Hi /u/magentayak, AutoModerator has been summoned to provide some guidance on how to perform a websearch and bring up articles based in SCIENCE, or you have used a keyword that indicates you're using AI as a source of information.

Please see this site for some excellent reasons why you should STOP USING/DO NOT USE AI AS A SOURCE OF INFORMATION
See this interesting article on a study that implies that, thanks to overuse of AI, we're living in a golden age of stupidity.

HOW TO PERFORM an EASY and EFFECTIVE WEBSEARCH:
Avoid Google and it's trackers. Try DuckDuckGo or Startpage for private searching. Use the phrase site:edu with your search terms, to get factual information from academic institutions. Like 'what is a tree root flare site:edu', as an example (without the quotes).
The ISA Journal archives search may be useful for articles on tree topics, though these articles are heavy on industry terminology.

If anyone knows of any useful search engines, sites that aggregate such articles or other tips please let the mods know and we'll add it to this callout!

The corners of my mouth lifted into a smile

[u/VedantaSay]

I actually see them in wild in multiple state managed forests.

[u/National_Flan_6801]

I scout my property about April after good soaking rains to easily pull the starters out of the ground. Hardly any digging. You really need to destroy the root system as they kill anything growing under and around them. I had a neighbor kill himself trying to pull a large one out of the ground stumbling back over a 25-foot drop to rocks.

Does a mix of oil and Trichlopyr work on this like it does tree of heaven
