I’m in SW MS and I have some spots of Chinese privet that I’m wondering what to do with. These are not areas thick enough to provide bedding and most of the plants have foliage out of reach of deer. They are spots where it seems to have a dense enough canopy to shade out new growth. The first thing that comes to mind is to fell it and treat the stump to kill it. Any reason to let it resprout? In this general area, there is enough tree canopy to prevent it from being very invasive.
