ok, i've got greenbriar trying to spread throughout my live oaks. i've tried digging down to the roots but am having very little luck getting rid of these things. i have other plants growing in the same area and don't want to kill them. before planting the area, i used a woody vine killer (ortho) and it got the grass and everything. it would be difficult to use the same stuff now with my other plants in close proximity. any ideas?

greenbriar is in the center of this picture (with the heart shaped leaves). they have thorns on them and from what i can gather, the only way to get rid of them is to dig up their tubers. in my case, the tubers are mixed up in the surface roots of the live oaks so i can't dig down very far. one website said to keep cutting them back and the tubers will die. but, i've got this vine popping up wherever the sucker live oaks are coming up too.
