This is just one wheelbarrow full of the tubers from the thorn vines that I've been digging up. (Our timber guy who is an arborist, calls them saw briars) The one that is leaning on the handle weighs 22 lbs. I dug and pried it out of the ground, and yes, we weighed it. :-) The vines run up into the trees and then bloom and make a ton of berries that fall and sprout and.......the process continues. I've been digging them for a few years as spraying only kills the sprout and then they sprout up from another part of the tuber. I'm thinking these have to be YEARS old to get this big.

Agghhhhh! That's huge!! I can totally see that thing crawling around at night.... I've watched way too many horror movies ;-)
ReplyDeleteHeh, too bad they can't crawl away to some other location.
