| A tree with a Russian Vine coat |
How can one
plant grow so fast?! It is truly amazing that this feisty vine will take on a
rather substantial tree within one season. Thanks to
proper gardeners like James Alexander-Sinclair I now know that it is Fallopia baldschuanica or Russian vine.
I have also read about fairly
drastic action needed to get rid of it – nothing short of Blitzkrieg tactics:
cutting, slashing, poisoning and torching it. The pyromaniac in me is not brave
enough to incinerate the tree. I wouldn't mind if it stuck to the fence, maybe
there is a deal to be struck.
