Any portions of the root system not removed may resprout. Juvenile plants can be hand pulled depending on soil conditions and root development. Using a pulaski, weed wrench or similar digging tool, remove the entire plant, including all roots and runners. Grubbing is the removal of entire plants from the roots up and is appropriate for small initial populations or environmentally sensitive areas where herbicides cannot be used. Cutting without herbicide will require vigilance and repeated cutting because new plants will resprout from the stem base. Rooted portions will remain alive and should be pulled, repeatedly cut to the ground or treated with herbicide. Try to minimize damage to the host tree’s bark. Vines can be cut using pruning snips or a pruning saw for smaller stems and a hand axe or chain saw for larger stems. For climbing vines, first cut the vines near the ground at a comfortable height to kill upper portions and relieve host tree. Dried piles of pulled material can either be left on-site and monitored the next year for new growth or hauled away. If fruits are present, the vines should be bagged in plastic trash bags and disposed of in a landfill or, alternatively, piled up and allowed to desiccate onsite. For small infestations, plants can be hand-pulled along with the root portions.
