I'm disappointed i didn't see no one shovelling an 18ft giant hogweed out the ground. Done us all over 😂

It's not just on waterways. Very common along road and rail lines, and also invades urban wasteland.

They didn't tell Hogweed flowers just in the second year of growing. and it develops a giant root stock, so it is important to get the roots out totally and ASAP. And it generates thousands of seeds!

Some bored soul counted the seeds and it averages out at 50,000 per plant As you hint, the easiest way is to cut and remove the roots. I find that if you cut roots at 6" below soil level and remove the plant then repeat if it re-grows, it will kill it. If you cut it when it is flowering or near to flowering, there is enough sap remaining in the stem to allow it to set and mature seeds. Burn material immediately and keep out of the smoke. If you are working with hogweed, suit up and wear a full face mask. Work on a cloudy day, and be sure to hose down the suit before removing it and then take a shower yourself. I learnt the hard way so, hopefully, you don't have to. [total root removal is impossible - I have tracked them down over 3 feet and given up]

When I cut down many trees, especially things that live in America's Temperate Rain Forest, such as the Western Red Maple, AKA Acer Macrophyllum/Acer Rubus (Take your pick), I need to spray the Cambium Layer with Garlon, or some other Herbicide, or all I did was just shorten the tree, and to the ground, at that. Sometimes I let that happen on Dolphin, though, but, when the tree is in "The wrong place..." Some form of Herbicide sounds called for in this case.

Not really, Knotweed is a problem but its not phototoxic and it doesn't make the ground around it toxic like Giant Hogweed does in critical mass. In the USSR they had the idea of using this as silage for cattle feed and planted it as a crop, now decades on its destroyed almost 40% of the arable land because it went uncontrolled after the collapse of the USSR. It shares all the traits Knotweed has, deep roots, growing fast and ability to get a foothold in almost any condition and is resistant to drought and frost too.

It renders the land it's found on almost worthless, and devalues adjacent properties too.

They have left out so much information. If you are getting rid of it while it is young, you must remove it with the root. If you are lazy like me and don't want to dig, then let it flower and hack it down before it goes to seed. The rest of it will just die on its own as it has spent all of its energy in the flower. But it is important you do it before it goes into seed. The seeds can lay dormant in the ground several years, so you have to revisit that area regularly and repeat the process if necessary till all the seeds have grown and all the plants hacked.

Misleading title. They didn't remove it, just talked about it. It also wasn't 18 feet, it was only 7 feet. And the reporter wasn't even properly protected while telling people (incorrectly) which protective measures to take (don't leave your face exposed ffs). Thumbs down.

It affords SOME protection but the idea that people with dark skin are somehow immune to it is absolutely false. I’m a surgical assistant in paediatric burns and it’s not just white people who are affected. You also need to know to be extra careful getting it anywhere near your eyes. If sap gets on your skin, wash it well and keep away from sunlight for a couple of days, but if it goes in your eyes please go to the nearest hospital immediately.
