[WSBARP] Invasive Blackberry Bush question

[Gregory L. Ursich]

The law on this area says that the person’s who’s yard is being invaded by the plants has the right to trim back and kill on their side of property line.
In general, no liability will exist for the landowner with the “wild” blackberry bushes. -Greg Ursich, Inslee Best

Hello all,

Individual had backyard professionally landscaped.  She notified the property owner adjoining her, as there was/is a large blackberry bush that grows towards Individual's yard.

Individual has maintained cutting the bush back on her side of the fence.  She sent pictures of the invasive plant to property owner and property management company.  No action was taken on property owner/manager's part.

Blackberry bush has since flowered and seeded.  Now individual has blackberry bushes growing in several places in her newly laid sod.

Any and all suggestions, ideas, potential remedies willl be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Laurel
