    We've just moved into a new place and have this bramble type plant growing all over the garden. It's all across the lawn and along the sides.
    I tried to dig out one of them l but it was a nightmare the roots are so far down.
    If is use weed killer will this work to get rid of it...or do I need to continue to try and dig each one out to try and stop it coming back?
    Thanks!!

    Welcome to Gardeners Corner :sign0016:

    Yep, that's rubus fruiticosus alright :sad:

    You can carry on digging them out or use a brushwood killer or a very strong glyphosate. Takes a few weeks to work :)

        If it's all over the lawn just keep mowing. Eventually it will disappear.
