Remember that pampas grass you tried to save me from?
It's still in our yard. DH paid some not quite professional landscapers to pull it out and they couldn't get it out. They trimmed off all the leaves though (doesn't matter, they've grown back already) and figured out WHY they couldn't pull it up with their truck. The people that planted it planted it ON TOP the stump/roots of a tree. Yeah. A tree. I can't remember what kind right now... maybe hosta? I'll take a picture and post it for you... after the pampas was so well trimmed, the tree started growing again.... it's over 6 feet tall with several leaves... so now the pampas and the tree are fighting with each other. Fun stuff, huh?
Re: Dear kdello,
Yep, called that one, lol. The pampas is probably really happy it got a trim so it can come back nice and healthy. Tell me again, why won't MR. SWB just spray it? $10 and you could be done with the tree AND the pampas.
thank you, sir, and ygpm back
Ok, you can use a selective herbicide applcation and kill the pampas without killing the tree, if you're careful. (I hate to be a chemical pusher, but really we've tried everything else and it doesn't work.) What kind of tree is it?
