Name: Robert Johnson IL (Zone 5b) I wet my plants! - MIgardener
I have been battling a wild riverbank grapvine for the last couple of years only to fail miserably. it is taking over and choking my rhubarb out and growing into our asparagus bed and strawberry. I don't know how to get rid of this headache. I was reading that they produce grapes but i have never seen grapes on this thing. Does anyone have ideas on how to get rid of this evasive plant?
I have found they are fairly easy to pull when young, think you could cut them down; then use a brush killer on the stumps. I leave a group, because the Japanese Beetles migrate to the grapevine vs my other plants.
