no you should not cut it down, it will resprout even worse. It’s there because a bird shite out an elderberry seed.

Crawl up under there and pull it out by the root and try your best to get all the root. Wet the area first. Anything you leave will resprout. Elderberry is satan spawn. I’ve just about got it eradicated from under my figs but it took a while

Yes…that is elderberry. I cut several volunteer elder berry and mulberry trees out of my figs just the is past weekend. I plan to spray glyphosate on them as soon as they sprout back out. I should be able to terminate them by summer’s end that way.

Indeed. Growing everywhere. I keep it cut as much as possible. And it’s growing over my fence too bc people behind me don’t keep it up. I trim their hanging, too.

You're missing on a homemade wine experience. My grandma would make it every year when the berries were ripening.

You’re gonna spray glyphosate around your figs? Thats a bold strategy, no?
