I had a hydrangea that was already here and too large for me...so I got my pruners and pictured all 3 of my ex-husbands and just went to town...it was fun and soon I had it to the ground...I was not strong enuf to pull it out...so I used Roundup and he was strong enuf to pull it out. My sister also enjoys whacking the heck outta some plant...lolI don’t think I’ve got a great spot in the backyard for us unfortunately but I’ll look around over the weekend and see if I can find that would work
