User's notes

In grassy woodland under Exocarpos tree. Part of FoMM's trial to reduce nutrient loving plants under Native Cherry trees particularly Cleavers, Galium aparine but also Solanum nigrum, plus various thistles and Paterson's Curse growing close to the tree canopies. Last season, Solanum was cut and fruiting stems bagged and removed from the site which was then sprayed with Starane for the remaining Cleavers and the Solanum leaves. Some cut Solanum stems were not treated with the herbicide and re-sprouted this year. Sprayed with Starane and mapped with Field Maps Treated Weeds 2024/25.
