#invasives — Public Fediverse posts

@avlcharlie yep. That drizzle thing. Got a tree laying in the “yard” (the clearing behind the house) that wants cutting into chunks, and two more #invasives that we can now see. But. Rain. Another coffee will be good.

🌭 In California, an invasive mustard is destabilizing desert plant communities

I have spent some time in the woods today to remove invasive garlic mustard and I'm finding less than I expected. The plants that I am finding appear to have damaged leaves. I'm wondering if a couple of the sudden cold snaps we had after one of our false springs are responsible. #ilwx #spring #hope #plants #invasives

New (?) invasive pest defoliating boxwood shrubs.

Box tree moth is new to this part of SE Michigan. I'm not a big fan of boxwood, but it's common.
Useful write up by a local paper.

The box tree moth can defoliate, and even kill, a shrub in just one season.

The danger is it takes over large areas and deprives native pollinators food and a place to lay their eggs. Monarchs will use this plant but no larva will survive.

The blog post shows more photos of the range of colours and talks about the risks and pitfalls of mainstream seed mixes.

This is a disaster.

But a very pretty disaster.

Me at 0800: ooh, it rained last night and it's nice and cool this morning! I'll just go out and do a half-hour of weeding before breakfast!
Me at 1045: *hangrily starts making breakfast*
This Bermuda grass can fuck off into the sun. I had to dig up the entire big lily cluster on the right, to get at all the Bermuda grass roots underneath and amongst them, and then replant the lilies once I'd gotten that space as clear of roots as possible. Hopefully the lilies will survive the insult...

The new issue of my Bad Naturalist newsletter is up! It's May on the Mountain--surprise bird nests, something in the pond --and in my hair, native and invasive plants, two bird books (and a poodle). Read it here, and subscribe if you like.

i killed all the invasives along the back fenceline but this one (autumn clemantis) escaped me. it sucks that so many invasive species are so cool or pretty looking.

They are already widespread in some areas of southern New England, and through the mid Atlantic.

Know your bugs!

And another one gone.

I write stories occasionally as part of the Daily Kos community, mostly nature stuff. Here's a recent story I did about walking for three hours through Ridgefield NWR for three hours. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/8/2/2183856/-The-Daily-Bucket-Ridgefield-NWR-It-s-all-in-the-details

Not all plants are weeds. Not all introduced species are invasive. And even the so called 'notorious' invasives support native wildlife in the ecologically disturbed habitats of our great cities.

Are new #invasives like #SpottedLanternFly worse in #nyc this year?
Yesterday in #VanCortlandtPark they were all over the place. Today in #InwoodHillPark there were even more. Like 1000’s.

I paused under the Henry Hudson Parkway to swat a few 100. Felt pointless. Some helpful guy said to me “you’re the third person I seen stopped to swat those things”. Geez.
