+ Bradford pears and English ivy

Dammit yes. And living out in the stix, somehow, I am battling all three from idiots making decisions in the past around my place. English Ivy kills and pulls down trees. Bradford pears will cross pollinate with fruit bearing pear trees and produce a scraggly cross bred garbage tree with thorny little offshoots on the limbs that rip at you when you are cutting the damn things down. Privets are nearly impossible to fully eradicate because they have to be one of the hardiest shrub weeds on the planet. You can literally cut them to the ground and destroy the damn stump and if there is a root left it will spring back.

That damn cesspool in Athens may as well plant all three in that damn garbage stadium of theirs. I never noticed if it still grows there, but they even had Kudzu growing back in the day on the railroad tracks back when that was an open end of the stadium and some of their loser fans would stand there to watch the game.

For privet, cut it down and leave the stump. Drill a hole just a little bit down in the stump so it holds liquid. Use a paint brush to paint the cut with Roundup and drip it into the hole til it stops draining into the wood fibers. That will annihilate the root.

This also works on the really thick English Ivy roots if you're trying to save trees from a negligent former owner like me. Cut the Ivy off around the tree, then nuke the thick roots with a battery powered drill and a very cautious application of roundup.
 
My favorite is when O'Leary was asked if he took any of the hedges after beating the dawgs in Athens, and he said "what do I need with their bushes?"

Been doing this for years. It works.
 
I’m in Athens for a conference. There’s tons of “No Parking” signs littered all over campus.

Some black and white tape would make it super easy to change these to “No Barking”.

Just a suggestion for 23 months from now…

Conference? Athens?? What kind of conference? I'll hang up and listen.
