Cypress Spurge Weed Control

For successful Cypress spurge weed control, your plan of action requires stealth and perfect timing. The idea is to disrupt the plant’s growth

pattern before large groupings settle in and take over the land. As cold and calculating as that sounds, it’s important to know that noxious weeds are doing the same to you and your property every day, sending roots deeper and wider and dispersing seeds far and wide.

Cypress spurge is on List A of Colorado’s noxious weeds, meaning that it’s required to be eradicated when it’s discovered.  Even if it is part of a rock garden or attempts at naturalizing, it has to go. And with good reason. Invasive weeds take over grazing and recreational land, often severely reducing the land’s value and usability.

Cypress Spurge Weed Control Methods

Addressed early, digging up small patches of cypress spurge is an effective Cypress spurge weed control method. The plant sprouts in the early spring after using up stored nutrition and energy resources over the winter. Soil will be easier to dig into and roots won’t be as strong as later in the season. A mature plant benefits from weeks of sun and photosynthesis, meaning roots will be stronger, longer and tougher.

Mowing is usually not the most effective way to eliminate any weed. The process can actually help sow seeds and the remaining roots of a plant benefit from the mulched vegetation.

Herbicides are an effective way to rid your property of cypress spurge once and for all, as long as the right chemical is used at the right time. Many chemicals should not be used in residential areas and some chemicals should not be used in pasturelands.
