This man shot a damn tree.

I'm so glad that no one was standing on the other side of those shots. 😆 I feel like shooting my vines too.

I dont like to kill grape vines because I hear things through them love this guy!

Thanks for sharing your technique! I work to remove as much of the offending vines as fast as possible. Hedge trimmer to cut it all down to size, works for the thin green and variable grey/brown vines. Chop them to pieces, let nature degrade the remains. That clears out the area fast and well. Locate the base of any larger vines, use a RYOBI ONE+ HP 18V Brushless Cordless Compact One-Handed Reciprocating Saw to cut such vines off of trees. Pull up as much as able to expose secondary roots, kick with boots or pull like Popeye! Tree saved. Check back for any regrowth in a couple years. I use a hand spray bottle with undiluted herbicide, no time for paint brushes, no carrying bulky sprayers, as there are many trees to save, and little time!

Great video! I’ve been doing this for many years and it really works well. A little trick I learned along the way is get yourself some copper roofing nails to further enhance the chemical process. Works wonders on most stumps. They must be copper. I’ve tried HD and galvanized nails, but the copper seems to set off the strongest reaction. After you cut the trunk down low ( 3-4” off the ground max), drill some small holes (4-6) into the fresh cut. Go in a few inches (2-3” or so). A little deeper is even better on bigger stumps. The bigger the stump, the deeper you drill, and the more liquid you use. A few more holes helps too. The cut should be as flat as possible. Not angled. After you drill the holes, immediately paint the stump with Roundup or any good herbicide that has Glyphosate in it… at least 40%, which means the undiluted stuff, full strength. I carefully pour a tiny bit right into each hole too. We’re talking about 1/4” +/- diameter holes. An eye dropper works well for this. Let it soak in well for a minute or two, being careful to avoid runoff if it’s near any plants you want to keep. Immediately after you apply the liquid, hammer a copper nail down into each hole, full depth. If the hole is slightly wider, angle the nail in slightly so it grabs and holds. Nails should about 1”-1.25” long. The head of the nail should contact the top of the cut stump or break the surface slightly. Wear gloves and don’t spill the herbicide on anything else! The stump will usually die after a while. Certain plants may need a repeat dose. If the tree/bush has a tendency to send out suckers, do the same thing to each surface sprout when the stalk is at least 1” thick. Same procedure…. Cut, drill, paint, and nail. Works like a charm. 👍🏼 I’m sharing because some one shared this with me many years ago. I’ve been gardening for 60 years. That’s what gardening really is about. Sharing. ✌️

anyone who uses roundup still is just saying give me cancer...

The most goddamn American yard care video I've ever seen.

For vines, I use a "needle oiler" bottle filled with Roundup. This allows me to apply Roundup precisely where I want it. Cut, apply, move on.

no more roundup!!!be careful!!!!

Please don't use Round-up. It is absolutely horrible for humans, animals, and the environment. It's just an example of how greedy people will do anything to sell a product, no matter how bad it is.

I came for the info, stayed for the dad jokes. 🤣❤️

It's like a vine execution. The other plants in the area will tell tales of the Reckoning for generations.

I'm curious how come you didn't use the same method you used on the grape vine, on the vine you showed us first? I'm garden dumb but it seems like a waste of round up (plus it kills bees), to spray a bunch of weeds on a tarp that would surely die if cut off from their main source? Sorry if I'm ignorant. I am but I'm learning as I go. Lol! Thank you for the video!

Just bought a house, and I've got woody vines almost as thick as the trees they're on! This stuff has been unchecked for many years, I've got alot of work ahead of me 🤦‍♂️

Take machete cut the root out and dump straight round up directly into the hole. No need to waste your time with tarps and paint brushes when you ha e multiple acreage to keep up with gotta get it done and move on to the next thing

That intro was amazing. Merica !

The shotgun trick didn’t work on poison ivy but made me feel great. I will carry my 12 gauge on the spray cart from here on out.

This was funny and informative.

I love how he shoots it with a gun. 😂 Thank you sir you are so Awesome!

3:15 is comedy gold. I loved this video.

If you just cut it at the stump and coat it with roundup there's no need to spray anything else

This man has a sense of humor! Why not.

Two questions: 1) if I don't need to be selective, after cutting the vine where it enters the ground I could simply spray the fresh cut and there would be no need for the paint brush correct? 2) if a vine has taken over an entire fence, and I don't need to be selective I could spray the entire area with roundup promax?

These vines have me upset. Taking over everything on the property. You not only gave a way, but did it in a funny and creative way. So Thank you. Going to give it a shot. Noo. Not with a gun...but round up. Hope it works. Will let you know how/if it did. Wish me good luck!!!

Can you just cut the majority of that vine so there is only a foot or two of it left before spraying? That way you would use less round-up?

😂😂😂 I HATE THESE VINES!!! They are everywhere and every year it is a battle

How long did it take to kill the “Tarzan” vines when you put roundup directly on the root?

i have hit my porcelain berry vines with roundup and they do not die. i have to dig out the roots. I will try painting them.

I'm glad you knew that there was no one on the other side of that tree

Thank you so much for your technique, these guys (vines) are trying to take over my yard.

Just found your video. I don't think there is enough roundup in the world to handle all the vine in my woods. :) Good video, thanks for the info.

Best intro for a youtube video I've seen in a while 🤣

i put the roundup in an empty windex bottle, easier to apply than with paintbrush. thanks for the video!

we get one here in north carolina that has little yellow flowers on it that seems impossible to get rid of it also seems to have thorns on it which makes it even more difficult to remove.

He’s the one who likes all our pretty songs and he likes to shoot his gun 😅 .. but he don’t know what it means…😂

This is the most informative, hilarious video I’ve ever seen on YT. 😂 You had me at the shotgun blast… ❤

Good humor for a good cause! Thanks for the tips! Can't wait to give it a try. One questions, does it matter what time of year this is applied?

Plastic bag with paper towels soaked with round up. Stuff vine in bag. Tie off and wait a couple days.

I'm gonna try this on the vines in my backyard...thanks

Can you give more description about the round up you used. I am facing same problem with virginia creeper.

Did he just shoot a tree-

I wish I would have watched this video before I cut my vines. But at least I know what to do when they eventually grow back. Also, I cut one vine non-tarzan on the wrong fork so I think I can still chop it at the origin and apply the roundup. Thanks. And I love that you shot the tree 🤣

"Tarzanzian" LOL.

you're funny ! And great camera work ! very helpful !! Thanks!

Like Frankenstein vs the Wolfman!

I have a wisteria vine growing up through a juniper tree. Is there a chance of the treated vine transmitting the poison to the juniper root?

Wow...the gun part was a little over the top!

The vine you could not name at the end was probably the Kutdzu vine brought to the US from Asia years ago. It is a very invasive Vine that will kill other trees and grows the rapidly. My yard was overtaken by it. We thought it was wild wisteria but after watching several videos it appears to be the k u t d z u Vine. I also had to cut them and got two goats to help me get my yard back. After a major hurricane hit the vines that were already there really took over where I could not use about 50% of our yard from overgrowth and underbrush due to dense Vines in the wooded areas. Now we could walk through the overall majority of the yard and the goats are eating up the rest. Roundup is a direct cause of cancer so we will avoid using it. I thought you were going to paint the vine stumps with regular paint.

Thank you! The rain lately has made the kudzu grow faster around here. I do worry about you handling that roundup though but I imagine any other strong herbicide would be just as bad. So far I’m just pulling up the rope like roots as far as they will go but I don’t think that’s killing the plant off.

I love this guy because I learnt a good bit, but more importantly, I had a laugh. Nice to find a gardening that can do both 💚🌱

This man just passed away from cancer caused by the round up... Quite the irony!

Which round up do you use? For using the brush. What chemicals should I look for to buy?

roundup is one of the worst things ever invented. but us humans would rather die of cancer etc. than pull weeds.

Sit directly in poison oak and ivy while doing all this also

What about the poor little tarp? Will it live? 🤣

I love your puns lol

Does the season or growing cycle (dormancy, growing, flowering) of the vine make a difference on how effective these treatments are? I heard it’s futile to do in spring, but if done in fall...the leaves send their energy (with the poison) to their roots much better...unfortunately I’m more motivated when I can clearly see them growing in early spring when everything else is still dormant.

Great job on killing those vines, thank you for the tips👍

Hey, that sure was a great tip. I got some sucky vines in my yard I need to get rid off. This painting technique sounds just what I need to do. Thanks 👍

Thank you so much for this solution! I have a trumpet vine that I’ve been trying to get rid of for 5 years!! Can’t wait to go out there and paint!

Do you have a video on how to train grape vines away from trees before cutting down the tree?

I have to do a little shopping but I like your method! I'll be at Lowe's asap. Lol Thanks!

Great information -and given with confidence and side of humor. I'm off to buy Roundup.

I suppose I could soak them in a bucket of weed killer rather than laying out on a tarp, either way, you just made my task seem less daunting. Greenbrier vine I got.

Thanks for the video !

even in the middle of no where a plane flys over head disturbing the peace of the video...

You just made my life easier.

Do they still sell roundup ? I thought that stuff caused cancer .

Do you have any advice to kill Sandpaper vine?? We’ve cut root of vine separating from vine and painted it with undiluted Round up, but the vine roots are growing in the grass and so close to our house. The vine looked like it’s been growing 50 years it is a beautiful sculpture I love but what is growing underneath is of concern . Do you have any advice please I’m in Australia 🇦🇺 thank you

Thanks for the advise, I have a couple of different vines growing into my sewers and this will definitely help. Thanks

GOOD VIDEO-I wish I could reach my neighbors bushes to kill these dang vines. I have to spray brush killer. There bushes have vines even coming through a wooden fence. They have let their bushes grow up to 15 ft.

Awesome thank you very much for Sharing your time and making this video very helpful 😀

There goes the neighborhood

Excellent intro excellent grapevine joke 😅

This dude has cool vibes..I like em

no need to spray it on the tarp, just cut the root as deep as it goes or take it out of the ground n it dies fast!!

Does this work for some type of vine that's full of thorns? These things have like bunches of white yams clumped together for roots, I've got way too many on my land and they're just too much to dig up.

oh man - Roundup? hmmm. that tarp is now tainted. gotta be a better way

Thanks so much for this!

I thought you were hunting gophers!!

When I try this with wysteria it seems that I have to do it every foot.......

Will a product called KILLZALL do the same thing?

I've been looking for a way to kill a tarzanian vine. Thank you! Now...do you have any tips for getting rid of Snow on the Mountain?

Regarding the vines, does this method work the same on those thorny vines?

Thank you

What if you didn't follow it?

Does this process work with greenbrier vine? Moving to a place in which this stuff can easily take over if I don’t nip it in the butt now

Thank you for sharing the video🙏

he just shot his neighbor

Please use PPE. The professionals do.

Will this work for bamboo?

Why not cut the vine and spray a smaller portion?

What’s the purpose of the gun addition? Does that make you a badass gardener or just a total wanker?

Fantastic! Thanks for this very helpful tip!

atrazine station

If you can pull the vine outta the tree, and see where it's growing outta the soil, why bother spraying it? Just yank it out by the roots. (Looks like you had a good crop this year. Cattle corn?)

Thanks for the video! Do you have any ideas for how to get rid of "field vine"? I've been spraying it with roundup and it just seems to die and then come back or not die at all. Maybe I should use the round up concentrate?

I tried that with wisteria didnt work

uuuummmmm why dont you cut it back an spry where it connects to the ground lol

You only need to spray one leaf on the vine and it will die.
