Or not. I live around a ton of Trees of Heaven. The stuff grows in alleys amid nothing but concrete, against buildings, up from the sewer... everywhere! I don't know how to eradicate it. Why should I even try? Isn't targeted plant killing another form of genocide? Who are we to say what can live and die in any place? I think if pants and animals do well in co-evolution with humans, there's not a whole lot we can do about it but slow down the inevitable. Snakes on Guam? Probably there to stay. I'll do what I can to slow down the invasiveness of some species, but others that are more beneficial than harmful I can live with. How do you feel about introduced species that come to act like invasive species because they thrive in their new place?Field Noteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18372584643389870376noreply@blogger.com
