PS.
No going back into the trashy system and so called 'nature' 'social media' trashy management, that is iNaturalist (SiliCON Valley headquarters);
with some good users people exceptions, both good people professional scientists and good people naturalists (amateurs) .
Straight directly into ALA, when and if this excellent NatureMapr does actually close the national scale service in the next coming months (as currently planned) .
I do hope and pray the national, state and local governments and more organisations do see the light in NatureMapr and turn the current wind–down plans around into to building NatureMapr up fully, with actual proper long term ongoing funding and broader–than–mere–money supports, for this NatureMapr to reach its full potential (including as home grown within this continent, eventually here eclipsing iNat* across this continent and perhaps across Sahul, (and even eventually across the Asia–Pacific region.). ) .
(*iNaturalist : IMHO overhyped, SillyCON Valley trash iNaturalist (the "i" prefix means narcissism (ie. corporate marketing appeal to narcissism), in iNaturalist, iPhone, iPod, etc.) ) .
Dream proper big ! – i suggest.

@Tapirlord and all – species not in iNat at all !
In 2023 this my sighting was added by myself in to iNat – the first and only sighting in iNat –
until i quit in disgust at gross abuse, by a small minority of other people there in iNat;
when i stood up to that minority of abuse, then more double–downed abuse lying was piled on top of that first lot of abuse .
Eventually, when, after my many attempts to seek:
truth–telling about the abuse, continuing to stand up to it, including calling it out and redress;
after i was accused of doing the abuse, after the ignoring of the initial abuse of me, and then blamed for the abuse of myself, by (again) a small minority of other people there, i quit and deleted all of my own 916 iNat sightings and all of my own many thousands of photographs;
including all of, the one and only sighting there of _Dinghoua_ genus and _D. globularis_ species, and its photographs (all) in iNat .

Thanks Mike I know the principle (immediately treat cut surface etc) but I don't know whether the method works with woody weeds that herbivores defoliated. FoMM discontinues treatment of deciduous woody weeds such as Hawthorn and Nettle tree in autumn; we only treat evergreens the whole year round including in winter.

Let us know if the herbicide works. Glyphosate works on the roots so needs active sap flow to get it there. You need to poison the cut within 30 seconds so the cells don't seal off, but sap will flow for a while longer if the plant is actively growing (sending sugars from the leaves and nutrients from the roots in a two-way process).
