Nick,
we used to use a woody plant poison to help control lantana on our farm. I think it was called Grazon which targets only the woody plants and not the grasses. Roundup tends to nuke everything. The poison needs to be applied when the plants are actively growing(usually Dec- april from memory)
We never cut back the lantana, just sprayed it, much easier when you have lots of it.

Good luck, you’ll need it.

Major Innes’ wife was French and bought it over to make an ornamental hedge in their garden, not knowing it was going to spread and rip the skin off trailriders nose’s !!

I’m afraid that both Nick and Al are wrong, Major Iness Married Margaret McLeay, a Scottish girl.
So you can blame the Scots.
They are both buried in Port Macquarie, every time I come home from Trail riding with Lantana scratches I feel like going over and kicking her gravestone arse over head. :laugh:

Back on topic, well done Boony, someone has to do it, as there is no such thing as the trail cutter fairies.

A bit of light reading on Lantana and how to control it.
