Don’t expose your skin to it. there is a slight chance the sap can cause phytophotodermititis.. your skin will burn from sunlight. I just learned this in another post

Don’t just cut it, it will aggressively resprout. Cut and immediately treat stump with herbicide (cut stump treatment) . Then go get yourself a nice tall native grass like switchgrass or quick growing shrub like rough leaved dogwood and plant yourself a privacy hedge.

I compost this plant and knotweed and fermented leaves and a solution that I feed to my plants and it keeps them super green the benefit from its invasive in this while still getting rid of it, healthy bacteria and healthy mycelium really like planting the entrances made from it that also provides defense against root rot when using a fermented compost tea but if using a compost tea, I recommend using either unsulfured molasses or date syrup with date syrup being more absorbable for plant nutrition I grow the largest eggplant in the state of California state fair and 2007 like this

You’ll have to cut it off and then apply a specialty herbicide like Torodon directly to the cut stump
