Posted on 08/02/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: How to Kill a Passionfruit Vine By andrea (Guest Post) one bit of advice... roundup only works by killing the chlorophyll of the plant...in order for it to do that, there needs to be leaves! most people think that you should cut the plant and then hit it with roundup...this is not true. if anything, allow the plants to grow for a bit and shoot them with roundup...

I would allow the suckers to get a bit bigger and then cut them one by one and paint the cut area - IMMEDIATELY - with neat glyphosate, (Roundup or any glyphosate will do). If you wait the plant will start to heal over the cut. What you are trying to do is get the weedkiller into the system of the plant. This is how I've killed wattles that kept shooting back so it may work. In theory it should work just painting the shoots but as its not you have nothing to lose by trying this. There must be some root left in the ground for the suckers to be reappearing. Just keep at it - you'll win in the end! If you prefer an organic solution sheet mulching the entire area with 8-12 sheets of wet newspaper and covering with straw and grass clippings will smother it. The area covered needs to be wide enough so it hasn't got the strength to grow out under the edge. Once deprived of light it will eventually die and your soil will be the better for being kept cooler and moister with the mulch. You could also try the CSIRO, CALM or the Department of Agriculture for advice, (find them in the phone book government section), as it may be a declared noxious weed in your area if it is so prolific.

Check at a garden shop, or if you have a Wal Mart check there. Good Luck Sandi Posted on 01/27/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: How to Kill a Passionfruit Vine By Kay Rose (Guest Post) Melinda you are lucky I have tried to grow a passion fruit vine for yrs. with success I also live in W.A.
