This is a high risk weed which we don't want getting established in the ACT

User's notes

One small bridal creeper vine of approx 1m length; cut and sprayed with 1:3 glypho : water; I searched the immediate surround under tree canopy and found no more bridal creepers.

Thanks Waltreaud - I am at my son's place on Kangaroo Island - pleased to see that my past hand removal of 12 garbage bag full of bridal creeper bulb masses has largely been successful so if it reshoots digging out does seem to be a successful strategy

cheers Michael Mulvaney
