[QUOTE="Boll Weevil, post: 3536284, member: 10006"] Yeah'man. For the record also applies to river cane/bamboo too!! I shall never wish such angry ill on any botanical lifeform as privet (or river cane) trying to overtake field edges and hedgerows. As the saying goes, "Give'em an inch and they'll take a mile." Skillet: One more native edgy grower you might want to consider is poke. Along with whatever blackberries you pick that ain't worth a cobbler + greenbriar and honeysuckle berries, collect some poke berries as you wander about. Toss viable seed in some of those reclaimed privet areas...the birds will take care of the rest. I really don't know about protein or digestibility but deer just plain love a poke'salit and to be perfectly honest, if all my big fields were totally lined with poke it would be a blessing. They dive in there and somehow, can't keep up with it during the warm/wet summer months. Swap out privet for poke..easy choice and not a crazy amount of work. They love it. [/QUOTE]
