I've found something to kill it but wonder what it is.

Ranger herbicide wouldn't do it so had a suggestion of Triclopyer 4e and it's getting it done but I wonder what it is.

It has plenty of root as you can see.

Need a better pic of the leaves, both upper and lower side, and a more close-up pic of the whole plant.

probably could have burned the pine needles and killed it.

Ahh that's one of those plants that are worth 1000 times their weight in gold, they have to be alive and growing though to sell them :D :-[ hahaha

I dont know what they are but that looks like a standard wild flower we have around here that gets a Purple cluster of flowers on top & humming birds/butterflys love em.

What is it hurting? I mean, why spray it?

It would be funny if it was ginsing.

I have about 20 acres of it and I would just like to look thru and see clearly under the trees. WDH had asked for some closer pics of the leaves and I hope to get by the place in the morning and get a couple close ups.

It isn't.

Looks like you need to burn that off anyway. After a good burn you will be able to see. ;D

Too late to burn now. You would burn up the needles, the birds, and the bees.

As long as it's not these materhead I hear they're protected. :D

Here are some more pictures. Only a very few have the seed pods in the one picture.

Bogue, I googled that plant and there is definitely a similarity in it but I haven't seen it do anything bush like. It only makes the one stem.
Hackberry, are those protected because their rare?

One other thing, While I was there getting closer pictures this morning , I did notice streaks that I had sprayed with the Ranger herbicide late last summer. I guess it did do the job, just slowly.
