How do you trim a mutant rosemary bush?
This is a dome/starburst shaped rosemary bush that sends out
thousand of runners and then establishes a new auxiliary trunk every 10" or so around the perimeter to support thousands of more runners. It's prooably 150 little trunks in there by now. but it only grow UP into rosemary when it hits the edge of the circle. Until it eventually consumes you whole lawn, and your driveway, and maybe that's where m,y cars been all these years. It's 20 feet wide and 4' tall in the center. If you just trim one side of it, it will grow back twice as wide and twice as fast (and now your dome/starburst will be lopsided). I tried to kill it with Round Up last year, and it just laughed at Monsanto. It made every branch bloom brilliant purple and yellow flowers. It's never done that in 16 years. So I didn't get to finish it off with charcoal fluid and a match like I planned Digging it up is not an option without a backhoe. I don't want to crawl around the perimeter (62.8318530718) with pruning shears cutting 64,536 little runners and branches. I need a laser beam that I can just draw a circle and amputate and cauterize everything outside the core. Is a weedburner an option? It would have to yellow/blue or white flame. Do they get that hot? Killing it outright would be a shame after surviving aq huge dose of Roundup. I just need to show it it's not immortal while preserving the spiny lizard habitat. Or hell with it if it's just as easy, I could just kill the *******(*). All my neighbors have rosemary for the picking. What could i do with 8 pounds of fresh rosemary trimmings without de stemming or putting in the grill/smoker with some lamb or cheese? |

I am jealous. I plant my rosemary in a pot each year and unless I take it indoors for the winter I must buy a new plant every year. The usual rules of pruning apply. If your bush is that big, you can probably take a power hedge trimmer to it. As for runners on the ground. . .are they coming from the mother plant or are they seedlings. If seedlings, just hoe them up. If runners, pull them and clip them off at mom. If the main plant is smaller than I imagine, you clip back to a juncture where the new arm or growth bud is heading in the direction you want it to go. (Happy Trails ) Janet US |

OK quick call the ghost busters and ask them to borrow a positron glider and fry that crap... or aresol hair spray and a lighter... or go to walmart and buy the cheapest plant killer poison chemicals and spray the edges and then wait a day or so and move inward a little wait and spray and wait .... You get the picture..... You could always dehydrate it but I mean cmon its rosemary... you use it what once every three months? -- ____/~~~sine qua non~~~\____ |

A better choice would be to just kill off everything that is in the ground and get a new seedling and keep in a pot this time... -- ____/~~~sine qua non~~~\____ |
