How to Kill Greenbrier Vines
- 1). Untangle the undesired Greenbrier vine from the tree, shrub or object without severing the vine's stems. Keep the vine in one piece as you unravel it.
- 2). Spread the untangled vine out onto a plastic drop cloth to protect the bare ground from the herbicide. Protect yourself by wearing long clothing, goggles and chemical-resistant gloves.
- 3). Fill a clean 2 gallon pail with 1 gallon of water. Pour 12 oz. of a commercial herbicide consisting of 41 percent glyphosate into the water. Stir the solution until the herbicide is consistently distributed throughout.
- 4). Pour the diluted glyphosate into a pump sprayer. Spray the diluted glyphosate generously over the unraveled Greenbrier vine. Apply the herbicide in calm weather to prevent the spray from drift onto surrounding vegetation.
- 5). Keep the glyphosate herbicide on the ivy for 48 hours, and then use garden shears to cut the Greenbrier vine's stem flush with the ground.
