[QUOTE="atnvol, post: 5285483, member: 18966"] Most of the privett around is non-native Japanese privett. It is extremely invasive. The first sections to attack are the ones that bear the seed berries. A forestry mulcher is a great way to bring mature large sections back into control so that they can be managed. Crossbow herbicide is a great way to get rid of brush type growth. You can buy it in 1 gallon containers from your local co op and you dont need a herbicide permit to do so. Spraying with a 15-25 gallon hand sprayer on a 4 wheeler or UTV works very well. Just do so when the wind is not blowing so that you dont get your spray mixture on yourself. You need what is called a surfactant which is basically dishwashing soap to add into the mixture to help it stick onto the brush. You can use dawn dishwashing detergent and add 2-3 ounces per 10 gallons of spray mix. You can get rid of the privett but you have to stay after it. Once you get it in control you can hand treat sprouts when they get about 2-3 foot high by cutting them off near the ground and immediately put straight(non-diluted) 41% round up on the stump/nubbin. You will only need a very light squirt to cover the nub so I usually just put a little straight round up in a old squirt bottle. It you do this right after you cut it off the root will suck it right down and self eliminate. Birds love the berries/seeds on privett and are the primary spreaders of this highly invasive species.
