My neighbor's bird of paradise is out of control. After cutting on my side it comes back.
We do not advise of any applications on your neighbors property. Bird of Paradise can be very difficult to kill whether it is a small or large plant. Industry experts have found that watering the surrounding soil, exposing the roots and applying a glyphosate product helps kill and soften the roots making them easier to remove. You want to remove the compact root ball in one piece to prevent regrowth. We recommend consulting with your extension office for further options
