If they are coming into leaf I need to check the infestation on Isaacs Ridge; probably around 100, though I have killed a lot previously.

I only saw a few. How quickly to they spread? I now how 47 species of weeds in my collection. I have 108 natives so at least the natives are winning. :-) I have Paul Downey's list of priority weeds, so I plan to analyse the weeds I've recorded at some point. But the ones that are extreme, very high and high rated ones tend to be the ones that are hardest to fight. Blackberry seems to be popping up everywhere.

Rather quickly once they grow up, best to get them while they are small and can be chipped out or cut and dabbed.

Large plants may sucker. Seedlings should be dug out; they have a horizontal root - https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4228401.
