Thanks lads, a client asked and I wanted to be sure on it, any ideas how to get rid?

 

Excavation? If it's not too bad an infestation shouldn't be too bad.. If it's big then roots could be spreading 6m in all directions!! There are specialist firms that deal with it as you won't be able to take it to your local tip site if you do excavate. An 18month herbicide treatment might usually be the way forward but like I said, that close to a water course, you shouldn't really be applying herbicides

Thanks for that, it is just one small plant at the moment, a considered aproach by the client is in order methinks.

If it is one small plant just pull it or dig it up. Try not to leave anything behind. And take a look around to see if there's anymore in the vicinity. (There's a theory that it doesn't spread by seeding but I don't believe it.)
