It is a wicked plant with thorns that are incredibly sharp and have a microscopic hook on the end. In other words, touch one and it'll stick you. <BR/><BR/>I cut back/down a bougainvillea that was growing about the same way yours is, so I speak from experience. If you want them to grow back, just leave the stumps, if you don't want them to grow back, you'll have to dig out the roots and perhaps, treat the remaining parts of the plants with an herbicide.<BR/><BR/>My recommendations are long stem snips, gauntlet gloves and contractor grade garbage bags (to be kind to the garbage men who pick the stems up)<BR/><BR/>Good luck.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12629439279545629954noreply@blogger.com
