My palms are so tall I can't reach it with the pole saw. The berries smell awful when they drop. Little orange balls of fermentation
Brazilian pepper is all over San Diego too. I used to live there and everyone’s yard had one. Very aggressive
Note that a portion of the population reacts to Virginia Creeper the way most others react to Poison Ivy. It doesn't bother me, but I worked with a guy that had to go on prednisone from a reaction to Virginia Creeper
Virginia creeper breaks me out like poison ivy does so be careful! 😊🎃 just got the bitter melon in our yard this year, thanks for sharing info.
Thank you! I saved this because it is the BEST FL gardening video on weed ID I’ve ever seen. Usable info and easily identifiable pictures and descriptions. 👏🏻
Palms are definitely a weed in my backyard 😄 They love to grow up against the fence and sides of the house.
in missiuri we have wild growing onions they are very invasive and not much kills them
Thank you so much for this video!!! Needed help identifying all the "weeds" on my property. Trying to keep anything native
Another very edifying video. Thank you. Going out with torches and lopers to look for these invaders in my yard.
A good "invader" has been a beautiful American Beautyberry that a bird must have donated at the edge of my yard, and was a lovely surprise when the 10+ ft shrub got covered with lovely berries this fall.
Great informative video, ty. The frog fruit used to grow wild on our beach dunes, when we had dunes, on the east coast of Florida when I was growing up.
Keep in mind the Firebush is toxic to dogs, all parts of it. I wanted one but left it at the nursery due to this. But birds to love it. Fellow Floridian here still living on the East Coast. 😊
Did you know an oak tree can support over 500 caterpillars? I know you don’t want oaks growing in certain areas.
Good stuff! Thx 4 sharing!
Awesome video! Very helpful!
Coral Ardisia, Ardisia crenata, is the Brazilian Pepper of North Florida
I tried to grow bitter melon and it grew one year but not the next. 😢
We love cooking butter melon. It’s really good for you. If it’s the bitter melon we grown in the subcontinent. The leaves look the same. The fruit has to be cooked. 😋
Super big help with these ubiquitous weeds. Now I know the proper names to call them as I yank them out instead of the unprintable names I’ve been calling them!
I have a wild patch of Bidens alba in my yard. The bees and butterflies choose it over basically anything else when it's in full bloom
What an awesome video. I thank you for all this information.
My tell for Brazilian Pepper is if you crush the leaf it will smell like turpentine.
I am so glad to hear that fire bush takes a good pruning. We recently had a new roof put on and the crew trampled my newly planted fire bush 😔. I pruned it down and am crossing my fingers!
Lol, I just planted bitter gourd. It's supposed to have health benefits.
You are my favorite person right now for making this video! Thank you!
Thank you for the video, super informative. And thank you for giving a name to our mutual nemesis, Asiatic day flower. It's like that thing doesn't give up! That and bitter melons, yuck!!
I was at a Biodiversity Festival here in Orlando, FL and there was a group (no name) giving out Biden's Alba seeds, I though it was somewhat funny people taking it home and planting it to realized it is a "weed" that they are always trying to get rid of. Flowers are edible too, but I would not plant it 🤣! I like cooking purslane in coconut curries with my sweet potatoes leaves.
I really really enjoyed this video! Of course, I have most of these in my yard but didn't know what they were now I do. I will watch this video again and take notes. You really have a great teaching style and I love seeing the plants in your yard in the different stages. Have you done or considered doing a video on trees or native trees in Florida? I've gotten books on trees, but the pictures are from a distance, and it doesn't help me identify them.
Thank you for all of the great information. God Bless.
Carrotwood. shakes fist
I love Bidens alba! I let it grow in little islands with my porterweed and just prune it when it starts looking too weedy. We always have bees and butterflies all over it and it looks nice (to me at least, I like the wild cottage garden sort of look).
Great video! Have lived in SE Florida my whole life and am very familiar with those weeds, but never knew the name of most of them. I’ve never seen a video on weeds before, and I really enjoyed learning more about them.
Awesome video! Thank you very much.
I add wood sorrel to my pestos. Delicious! Thanks for all the info, chicky!
Just planted a butterfly garden, Milkweed, Butterfly weed, Coreopsis, Mexican Heather, and have two Monarch Chrysallides. Also had a monarch chrysalis that hatched during Hurricane Ian, so we named him Ian.
I KNEW you were going to mention Brazilian pepper 😂. It is terrible
carrot wood and pepper trees are a disaster to get rid of.
😱 thank you for putting this together. I’m probably still going to be terrified of Virginia creeper fearing it’s poison ivy though 😅
Great start to Florida weed identification I need to keep video handy as I walk the yard. Thanks
Great video!
Asiatic dayflower flowers are so yummy. The little 'peas' are sweet. There's a recipe for creamed dayflower peas on the internet, but you'd have to have the patience of a saint to collect them all. This plant isn't invasive in my area, which is east central Florida. In fact, I'd love it if it grew more. I ate bitter melon last night. It was cooked with eggplant and fish and served over rice. It's really common in Asian cooking.
My wife and I love your channel and are so thankfull for your content! We're in zone 8. Which zone are you?
I found another youtuber that is located down near you. I'll have to go back and see if I can find her YouTube name. Although I really enjoy all the knowledge that you both share and it is really helpful, I wish I could find a youtuber that is knowledgeable like you, but is in NE Florida. ✌👍🌿 okay I went and looked " the urban harvest…" is the name of her channel.
