Roots and all need to come out, a good long tooth root ripper on the front of a tractor or skid works well to push them up and get under the roots to pop them out. After that you will need to spray for any reamaining that will pop up, unless your planting grass. The grass will smother most of what would sprout and the constant mowing will kill the rest.Rock&Snow said:I'm new and just started and having a blast. My first job is cleaning up some woods that is packed with buck thorn, which the owner wants removed and hauled away. What is the best way to get rid of buck thorn and do you need to pull the roots out and everything or just start chopping.
