Lateral Roots From Trumpet Vines
Fran Miller asks:
Question
I purchased 2 trumpet vines from a local nursery. They were planted next to each corner on our pergola, I have a small english garden that surounds the pergola. We are constantly pulling out hundreds of sprouts all over the yard. I took one out this spring using vegetation killer an attempted to dig out as much of the roots as possible. We are still having a lot of lateral rot shoots. What else can I do to get rid of them? Take out the 2nd trumpet vine, which we plan to do, but there are just as many shoots still coming from the other side of the garden where the original one was taken out. Help!
Answer
I think your best bet is to continue to use a herbicide and spray the new trumpet vine sprouts as they come up. Spraying the sprouts will insure they are killed to the root, by pulling them you may not be removing the entire plant.
