If you want to get rid of the mimosa trees you'll have to pull them out from their roots. If they're too big to be pulled, try peeling their bark at about 30cms from the ground and go as deep into the roots as possible. That'll dry them and kill them.
Thanks for the tips! As you know it's a bigger job to do it properly and we just didn't have the time during that visit. We saw the bark peeling technique in use at a national park near Coimbra as well. Hopefully next time we'll have the time to do as you suggested 👍
@@DJAAdventures Yes, it 's a load of work. When they're small they are very easy to pull out, specially just after the rain when the earth is wet and soft. When they become bigger (2/3 meters) it becomes a lot more difficult. Unfotunately cutting them wont do as they keep on sprouting again and again and their roots penetrate deeper into the soil... nasty weeds from hell!
They are definitely troublesome which is why we wanted to tackle them at least a bit in the time we had. We've seen people use them in some really interesting ways though so I'm hoping to keep some and use them as a renewable resource in a controlled way, not too close to the house though.
HELLO. I LIKE YOUR VIDEOS VERY MUCH I WILL LEAVE 1 TIP, USE THE EMPTY SILICONE PACKAGING AND FILL IT WITH MORE LIQUID CEMENT TO FILL THE HOLES THAT ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE. HUGS
We're using the same solicitor as we did for the actual purchase, and she's based in Castelo Branco. If you're satisfied with your solicitor, then maybe speak to them and they can assist?
Best voice over on YT! 😅
First of all, glad you enjoyed it! Second of all, I can't believe The Indie Projects commented on one of our videos! Means a lot to us! 😁👌

Are you using a local solicitor to get your exemption? I've just bought a similar property in Penamacor and need to do the same.
