Of the various invasive species on my property this is hands down my greatest enemy. I´ve only seen it at higher altitudes here, above 1600m so I suppose it can´t tolerate the heat down in the valley.
Oh god, that's what that stuff is? It's eaten entire valleys here between 1200 and 1800msnm. The one saving grace is that the flowers are very tasty in salads.
We have Ipomoea (Morning Glory) and not to forget the prickly wild blackberry, and Hedera (clings to suburban forests in Vancouver).... and of all things, these are not native???
