Just read that Michigan is planning to restrict or ban callery pear, Japanese barberry, two buckthorn cultivars, water hyacinth, and water lettuce.
The article includes a link for public comment (you can be in or out of MI) where you can show support for the regulations and add any thoughts. I suggested adding multiflora rose to this or a future list.
Happy to see my home state taking action! 👉🏼✋🏼 As the proverb goes: "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." Better late than never!

This is a great measure! I think all states should closely regulate the amount of invasives sold, and better support the information and sales of natives.
Good shit Michigan!
