Come on Dave......

Asp. retrofractus. Although, this name is still commonly used in the trade, I think the specie's name has been changed. But I can't remember to what.

That thing reproduces like crazy. I recommend a heavy, unconcentrated dose of Round Up.

No one cares about your current yard temperature 🙃

Hmm...

Sounds like Sprengeri . . .

Ray, out here retrofractus isn't a problem plant like A. plumosus or A. sprengeri. Occasionally A. asparagoides (Smilax) can become a pest but their seedlings are easy to pull.

Greg-

I suspect you meant threads ? Posts are in the threads. :blink:

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Ok sorry, wrong species. Incidentally, how do you get A. sprengeri out of a hedge. The roots look like small onions and become firmly established.

Ray,

Your truely talking about a nightmare here. Nine out of ten times, in order to get all the sprengeri out, all other plants surrounding them must come out too. The asparugus has such a horrible root system it makes it almost impossible to get it all out, while leaving the other plants intact.

I partially concur with Jeff, except that you can get them out, if you're willing to make that a serious part of your life for a while. You have to keep after the new sprouts, constantly. I've done it (from Carissa! OUCH!) and it's not easy.

As Jeff indicates, sometimes you decide you don't like that ratty old hedge, either . . . .
