  • Question

    Established backyard area of Japanese Angelica? Very large colony including saplings, sprouts, and mature tree. Previous homeowner had the area cut down and herbicide applied but sprouts are still coming up from the stumps. Also, encroaching on the perimeter of the house. Need help identifying and removing! VERY aggressive sprouting. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Kathy Easton, Ma Bristol County
