Small infestations of young plants can be pulled effectively by hand. For larger plants in low-density invasions, a root-wrenching tool or hoe can be used to remove the majority of the root system, which the plant will not recover from. Mowing is an option when removal of the shrub canopy is desired and eliminates the need to drag and chip or burn the stems following cutting.
