I have a farm and this stuff is everywhere.
I went through a patch last week that was to the top of my tractor and that wasn’t the 1st time to do that.

I’ve bush hogged a few patches that were close to a .25 acre

I don’t think I want to go nuclear with Arsenal but if that’s what it takes I sure will.

I have a a sprayer with an 18ft boom and nozzle that I can spray it with.

Thank you. Will pick up some of that.

Oh, do you know if a surfactant is needed?

Keep them & pick the blackberries to make cobbler. Reminds me of my mother.

Yep. The stuff below with a little surfactant will go scorched earth on that blackberry. I’ve even killed creeping fig with the stuff…

For a vine, I’d say yes.

While I'd probably keep some to grow and produce fruit, nobody in a residential environment NEEDS 1/4 acre of blackberry vines growing on their property to keep them more than well supplied with berries.

And if they are growing in one concentrated area, you're not getting to many of the berries with the exception of the ones growing on the perimeter.
