The plant is listed by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council as a Category I invasive species. Even a potted specimen on an outdoor patio can contribute to the problem, because birds eating the berries spread the plant's seeds.

To make matters worse, studies have shown that garlic mustard produces chemicals that inhibit the growth of other plants, including tree seedlings. A new round of rumblings and the birds sounded off again and again.

In field experiments, the researchers compared the number of redbay ambrosia beetles attracted to manuka-oil lures, phoebe-oil lures, and bolts of wood cut from lychee and from three races of avocado trees.

Every plant, animal, bird and bug is native to somewhere and in most instances they behave properly in their own ecosystems. We had some wonderful images once again and we hope that you'll take a minute to check them out.

“Just planting an oak tree would be great,” Woods says of the tree that is native in most U.S. planting zones . “We say plant natives because it builds up native insects and native birds that feed the food chain.” You can incorporate native plants...

Golden, daisy-like blooms illuminate the early summer garden and unlike other Gazania, Colorado Gold is cold hardy. This perennial prefers well-draining soil and is drought tolerant once established.

Anemone canadensis is a large-flowered wildling that spreads in moist spots.

Also, be sure to keep your garden well-watered, and mulch it well to keep the soil moist. Don't let spider mite infestations get out of control along with summer's heat. Here's how to keep their populations in check.

Birds and foraging animals that eat the seeds and transplant them elsewhere. Others may spread and come to dominate large areas in just a few years. It takes persistence to avoid invasives.

With AMF in the soil, native species facilitated the growth of invasive species. In the current study, the presence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) affected the plants' growth responses.

However, when the “bush” finally grows large enough to escape continuous nibbling, it can resume normal growth and turn into a tree at last. One option is to simply cut them down with pruning loppers or a saw, though this will leave numerous small...

The week of March 3-8 has been designated National Invasive Species Week in the US. The object is to educate the public about potentially harmful organisms and here at Dave's Garden we're doing our part.

We'll also have our second annual Dave's Garden Write-off in a couple of weeks for those of you with a literary leaning, so sharpen up those pencils and get ready to submit those stories!Below are our winners, and please take a minute to click on each...

Autumn olives will shade out native plants due to their quick growth, creating basically a monoculture within our forest. That way, we don't have the overspray that methods like basal bark treatments and foliar sprays would create, but it also means we'll...

Giant african snails and others. Ways to start edible land snails farming: - from parent snails - breeding stock, - from juveniles - small 10-day-old hatchlings, African snails species: - Helix aspersa Maxima, - Helix aspers aspersa Muller, - Helix Pomatia.

You can also prepare immature seed heads as you would an artichoke, albeit a very small one. The berries should be avoided, as they are toxic. Uses: The berries, of course, are edible.
