Has anyone tried any of the tools made for pulling small trees and tough weeds like wisteria? I am inundated with baby trees and vines. There are several on Youtube, and some older ones like Weasel weed popper. I would love tho hear if there is one that really works before I spend the money, Thanks!

We use Weed Wrench to put up chinese privet shrubs in restoration projects. There are several different sizes.

All our volunteers that use it do like it.

Ditto on the Weed Wrench - I've used it on privet, nandina and small trees. I haven't had any luck using it with Wisteria. It also doesn't work on tree suckers.
