Tip of the Month
Invasive Plants
Ten of the most invasive plants in Brewster (not including knotweed, bamboo or phragmites) include porcelain-berry, spotted knapweed, garlic mustard, English ivy, mugwort, wisteria, bush honeysuckle, vine honeysuckle, black swallow-wort, Oriental bittersweet, and multiflora rose.
Invasive plants can be removed by following these five steps:
-
FIND IT — Identify the plant accurately and locate the full infestation.
-
STOP IT — Prevent flowering, fruiting, seeding and further spread when practical.
-
REMOVE IT — Use the least destructive effective method, emphasizing mechanical control where feasible and bagging for disposal (not composting) all roots, berries, and seeds.
-
RESTORE IT — Stabilize and replant the site so that a new invasive does not occupy the opening.
-
WATCH IT — Return to the site. Many invasive plants require repeated treatment.
