The plugs are intended to not impact anything other than the tree, according to the tree surgeon. And to his word, the grass around mine is fine.
And @ColinTheBald, true, but it weren't me doing it so didn't have to worry about procurement.
I still have an unopened bottle of glyphosate in the shed that I panic bought when I first discovered JKW at the old flat. Never used it and got the proper folks in instead. Who sprayed glyphosate, which suitably knocked back the JKW, along with a 1' perimeter of grass. Scary how effective it was.
Or drill holes and insert eco-plugs. Which are essentially glyphosate suppositories. That's what the arborist who cut down some sycamores at mine did.
