fence line



Himalayan blackberries take over fence lines everywhere in the county. They can grow 7 ft in a season and are difficult to remove due to their large thorns and tangled growth. We started mowing them down along our neglected fences and used a gas powered hedge clipper and a line trimmer with a circular saw blade to remove canes close to the wire. With heavy welding gloves we are able to pull the tangled canes through the wire. After all of that work we only cleared a small section and now we will be sure to keep them under control.
