inoculate Verticillium to the tree of heaven shoots

Question

I would like to inoculate Verticillium to the tree of heaven shoots that are ruining my garden. Any idea how I could do that? If it worked, I would spread the word and become a benefactor of society! My garden, like many others, is infested by trees of heaven shoots I can’t get rid of. Verticillium kills them but is not for the time being commercialized. Do you have an idea how I could get hold of this fungus to inoculate them? I know it would be experimental but could save many gardens, parks, etc.

Thanks
Paul

I'm sorry but I don't know of any source available.

Weed shoots are problematic for several trees and Tree Of Heaven is one of these.
