I read about the JKW and how to manage it. I decide to follow the Flower Frost Window method this fall, and I have a few questions. I am in NE U.S., Thanks!

1. As of now the plant is about 4 ft tall. Do I need to cut so it is not too tall to apply glyphosate in August / September? PSU says I can cut in June, then wait 8 weeks, but others say cut will only cause the root to grow more?

2. I have trees in that area. The trees are already grown but I don't want to take the risk of killing the trees. Does that mean I can only use a paint brush to apply glyphosate on JKW leaves?

3. The JKW is on the neighbor side but right at the border between my property and theirs. It looks like a JKW farm over there. I can only treat the plant close to my property line, but I cannot go far to the neighbor's side to treat every plant. Can I still achieve the goal that no JKW close to my property line?

In the past 5 years I have been using a Surface Pro 8 and it still works fine. I am a very light user, mostly use Internet and some Excel / Word, watch movies, etc. I play games on PS5 and I don’t have the need for any professional software.

I think a Neo would meet my needs but I want a 15” screen. I like the Air for MacBook’s design, long battery life, no fan, and I use iPhone so it would integrate better. Also I used a MacBook Air before the Surface, so I am familiar with the macOS. For me macOS is indifferent compared Windows 11 because I don’t do anything that can make me feel which one is better.

My alternative would be a Surface Laptop 15”. The specs are similar, and for my use case I believe I would waste at least 80% of capability on both models. However, I keep a laptop for long time because I never feel the need to upgrade, so this new laptop I plan to keep until it dies. I am considering the 16GB ram + 1T SSD, but not sure if I should go for M4 or M5.

What’s your recommendation? Thank you for your advice!
