Thank you, Maackia and growin, for the information. Ah, if only I had posted earlier before they closed up the huge trench I wouldn't have to dig to put down a barrier. The barrier sounds like a perfect solution. The tip for twisting rather then cutting the suckers is appreciated.
Equil, thanks for jump starting the thread.
Maackia, maybe I'm getting more top growth because I'm training it up along 4 poles. It certainly didn't look promising when I got the root ball out of the container, pure solid immovable clay. After wrestling with it for 2 hrs. I planted it and took my chances.
