I like your determination against a prolific opponent! Looks like you have a great little power tool to make short work of each one. Beautiful area to work with and to live in 🙂.
Thank you sir, yeah the reciprocating saw takes them down well, but ten acres is a lot of ground to cover. I’ve got a plan though, so stay tuned for further excursions onto the battlefield
I have to battle this stuff too. unfortunately if you just cut it back to the ground it will sprout back multiple shoots. best way I've found is when it rains or after it gets a good soak you can pull it out root and all and it comes out fairly easy by hand if it isn't too big a tree already
It definitely comes back. And what’s bad is if you cut a big stand of it and leave the dead wood, it will block you from cutting the new ones when it does regrow. I’ve heard of people pulling it out with tractors and four-wheelers. I’ll have to see if I can pull some of the smaller ones out after it rains hard again. Thanks for the tip!!
When I saw the title I thought “only to kill it” ha ha. Hard work. Classic of something removed from its context and put where nothing is adapted to limiting its adaptations.

Exactly, thanks for watching!
