Burr Medic (m polymorpha)

 
Main Menu This plant is often planted as food for grazing animals, but it spreads rapidly and will quickly take over your yard, killing off other plants if it is not controlled. It is important to get rid of it as soon as it appears, especially before it has a chance to form seedheads (burrs).

Description:

It looks like a thin vine with clover leaves. It will form small yellow flowers, and its seeds are small burrs about a half centimeter in diameter.

Control:

I have been pulling htese by hand as I see them. You need to pull out the roots. If you have allowed the plant to grow, its vines will spread. Gather all the vines from a single root section together and pull, and the root system should easily come out with the plant. If you only pull a few of the vines and not all together, you will likely leave the roots intact.
