Ligustrum sinense - Chinese privet
|
Chinese privet is difficult to control because of its large seedbank. Small infestations in the early stages of invasion can be controlled mechanically by removing the entire plant. Fire is an ineffective control method. Herbicide application has been shown to be an effective control method. Foliar spray application of herbicide can be used on large thickets where damage to nearby species is not an issue. Cut stump and basal bark treatments are effective as long as the ground is not frozen.
