Top 5 invasive plants threatening southern forests
Wednesday, January 14, 2009
Cogongrass, tallowtree, and Japanese climbing fern are among the fastest moving and most destructive nonnative plant species facing many southern landowners this year, according to U.S. Forest Service Southern Research Station (SRS) Ecologist Jim Miller, PhD. "Rounding out the top five invasive species that I'm very concerned about would be tree-of-heaven and nonnative privets. While our forests are besieged by numerous invasive plants, these and other nonnative species present serious financial and ecological threats to the South and its forests in 2009."
