Help us get rid of this weed! #869224

Asked May 20, 2024, 11:05 AM EDT

We have this vine-like weed growing in our yard, which is mostly sandy soil surrounded by lots of pine trees. The leaves are jagged, and the stems are very prickly. What is it and how do we get rid of it?

Expert Response

This appears to be a type of dewberry, possibly northern dewberry.

You can spot-treat with glyphosate or a brush killer with the active ingredient triclopyr.  Always be sure to read and follow the label as these products can damage non target plants.
