A local gardening expert insists that English ivy won't be killed by
Round-Up. I guess you are confirming that, Karen, with the exception that the
newest growing tips WILL be killed by Round-Up. I think that's very useful
information. I suspect the same would then be true for euonymous and vinca
minor, which this expert also says aren't killed by Round-Up.
