A tool for removing undesired growth between adjacent surfaces includes a pair of flanges of generally equal width and length symmetrically located about a central axis and having a front end and a back end. The flanges are shaped to form a generally curved V-shaped opening at their front end whose width decreases gradually in a curved manner to form a narrow region terminating at an end point along the central axis. The flanges Kaye inner facing surfaces which are disposed with respect to each other to define an interior angle which may vary over a wide range. A handle is attached via a bracket to the flanges for enabling the front end of the flanges to be urged under undesirable growth, and wedging the undesirable growth within the narrow region for enabling the removal of the undesirable growth with its roots.
