Have cut them back but they are huge. Anybody got a quicker way to remove than digging!

What & get someone to come dig them out themselves!

they are normally shallow rooted so are not to hard to dig out ,or get a heavy 4WD and tow / winch them out .

rope and a 4wd, they pop out pretty easy.

We had some big ones.We cut them back and then sprinkled Tordon granules on them.Couple of doses of round up and they are finally dead.But now the good weather is here I saw a heap of seedlings yesterday.

Go to the centre of the plant and dig them out from there is by far the easiest way to do 'by hand' .

Use a grubber.

Call your local Marae, or TWOA centre- they may want it for weaving.If they come and cut it, it will be easier for you to dig it .

I dug out three last week 1.5m high tenax variety - took 15mins to dig each flax out, they are shallow rooting and easy to remove at this time of year when the soil is still moist.
