I know this patch since a number of years and never seem to have the time and energy to treat... too much for one person.

I’m not sure the best method to control these but I would be happy to help.

cut and dab - very laborious as there can be many suckers.
I did once a field of small berberis plants behind Mackenzie Street with my Friend Sabine; we stopped counting at 1000; that was before CNM so no picture.
I still suffer from Covid fatigue but perhaps when I'm better we can go for a session and even convince a few more people to help...
