I've had pretty decent luck using a handheld brush cutter (the ones that look like an oversized weed eater) and spraying with 50% gly w/ dye as soon as I cut it. The forester said the best time to do it was beginning around late June once the sap stops flowing up so the stump will draw the gly down into the roots to kill it. It'll sprout from the roots big time if it isn't sprayed with gly or other effective herbicide within minutes of cutting it. It's back breaking work, but looks much better now. I've been lucky enough to have other plants grow in their place w/o doing anything special. However, it can be discouraging when you think you got them all, only to find the next year others popping up from seed spread by the birds. I've cut about 15 acres of it off my farm, but I'll have to hit it again this year as I've obviously missed some the first go around. Some of the ones I cut had stump clusters 10" in diameter, which more than maxed out my 10" blade

I've declared war on this stuff because I have noticed that it's getting out of control. Not that it ever was in control, just that there wasn't much of it. Unfortunately the population is rapidly expanding and it really darkens the forest floor.
My plan of attack is to lop the small stuff and chainsaw the big stems and then immediately wet the freshly cut stump with a 5% Crossroad herbicide in diesel fuel solution. Nothing has sprouted from those treated stumps. The mix is very effective. I did this for a while before everything else greened up. In the fall, I will go back out and knock down the smaller stuff with a Crossroad foliar spray. This will be a long-term effort.....many years of treatments but it's necessary or else the whole acreage will be one giant BH plantation.

Just seen this post.
Now I have more to cut in my woods.
I got some really big ones. The wifey has been ripping out smaller ones now that I think aboot it. Didn't know it was crap plants.
Will the same herbicides work on the grape vines and poison ivy?

There is some Kudzu here spreading along the railroad tracks. I would guess seeds somehow came off the train cars.

Birds and birds and birds spread the seeds every year. I think propagation is over 100% or it seems that way. 1st plant to green and last to drop. It also is a very fast grower. I put Asian honeysuckle and grape vines #1 and #2 with yellow Custer next as most invasive.
