Texas Oxalis?

The advantage of using the applicator bottle and really strong is that
it kills the bulbs too. AND it can be done around precious plants, as I
always was careful to paint only the leaves. It worked. And 2
teaspoons per gallon my oxalis would have laughed at.

For Oxalis corniculata (the yellow flowered pest) roundup at the rate of
2 teaspoons per gallon will selectively kill the Oxalis. Don't do it on
lawns, it kills the grass too

Patty, this is not the yellow flowered variety we have here, but ours is
a plague as you describe. When I moved here 10 years ago, it truly was
a plague too. I don't know if you have Frend in an applicator bottle,
but I mixed a really strong solution of Roundup (glycophosphate or
whatever it is called) and put it in one of those bottles , than hand
wiped each leaf of Oxalis. Very rarely now does one appear, I suppose
seeded from the neighbours. It took time and patience, but has paid off.
As you say, digging it up was impossible. Was told by friends I would
never get rid of it!

Once it gets going , it is almost impossible to get rid of. It makes a
tremendous amount of seed and it is nearly impossible to get all of them
when you are tryng to dig up a clump to do away with!
If someone knows of a product that will kill them, please share with me.
