Immediately after cutting it, apply herbicide to the cut section of the stems using a squirt bottle or a paintbrush. For the best results, the herbicide should have a concentration of 8 percent triclopyr. The plant will absorb the herbicide through its cut stems, which will then kill the underground roots.

Glyphosate will kill asparagus ferns (Asparagus aethiopicus, A. densiflorus, A. sprengeri).

Specifically, glyphosate is the active ingredient in Round-Up. A particularly effective treatment is 1 percent solution of glyphosate to 0.25 percent surfactant. Follow-up treatments may be needed before the asparagus fern population is removed totally from the landscape.

Generally, weed problems may be solved by an attack plan of constant cutting down to the ground, controlled burning, and glyphosate. The initial reaction to the cutting initially may be vigorous regrowth. But the constant cutting is a stress that wears away at the plant in question.

Also, specifically in terms of the asparagus fern, it helps to remove as much of the root system as possible. As is the case with herbaceous and woody plants, growth begins from the roots.

They aren't ferns at all! Asparagus "ferns" are actually slightly woody evergreen plants that belong to the order Asparagales (genus Asparagus and Protoasparagus), and are often sold as ornamental plants, but are also considered an invasive weed in many parts of the United States and Australia. They are native to South Africa and are called "asparagus ferns" because, from a distance, they do sort of look like ferns. "Asparagus ferns" are mostly drought tolerant plants that have an extensive network of storage roots. The produce small white flower during the summer months, the fruits measure between 3 and 4mm in diameter and turn black on maturity.
