2. Would vinegar be a solution?

It would only be worth doing if it won't harm the tree, though. I have tried it in various solutions, including the industrial grade which isn't cheap. It only works so much but might help on the foliage near the ground, that won't hurt the tree. It makes stuff shrivel up and dry out, doesn't do much to the roots that I have found so that needs different treatment.

Having an allergy to mint, I have to watch out for numerous plants because there's a lot of different kinds of mint out there.
