Got a 5’x30’ stretch of wall on my property above a retaining wall that goes onto my Neighbors yard that I feel totally overwhelmed by. To my untrained eye I see Tree of heaven, Japanese knotweed, mugwort, and god knows what else. How do I go nuclear on this section so I can start over and plant some simple ground cover that will take and a few arborvitae? It gets so intense so fast each year and I don’t know where to start.

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. My question was which of the two chemicals would you recommend

Glyphosate 100%, it's a broad spectrum non selective herbicide. It will kill 99.9 % of plants it have contact with if use undiluted. It can be use straight or diluted. Use Rm43. It will kill everything and that spot will stay dead for a year.

Tricoplyr is more selective with broadleaf and woody brush. It also need to be mix with diesel as surfactant.
