Observing invasive species
Post on Friday July 30
I have gotten several questions about observing other invasive species at Ponkapoag. We would like to know if you see Japanese Knotweed (Fallopia japonica) or Burning Bush (Euonymus alatus). There are also 3 aggressive native plants- Greenbriar9Smilax spp.) Poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) and wild grape(Vitis). Also a note when you take a picture of the plant try to get a closeup of the leaf shape, fruit and or flower. Thanks and enjoy the beautiful weather. Deb
