Horsetail

Woody weeds identification: Horsetail
A perennial weed that’s a common problem for gardeners and difficult to eradicate, particularly in paved areas where a dense network of the weed can exist underneath the paving. Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) has creeping underground stems than can penetrate down to a depth of 1.5 metres and a fern-like appearance with its thin straight stems and absence of leaves. In spring, it sprouts brown asparagus-like shoots with cones at the tips that produce spores.

The recommended products for this weed are:

Roundup Ultra 3000, Roundup GC or Roundup Tree Stump & Root Killer
