Asian WISTERIA Invasive Threat to Native Ecosystems!

👉👉👉👉 Learn more about invasive vines in this video: https://youtu.be/AuVANWB9Y74 👈👈👈👈

Some of the worst invasive plant species in eastern North America are vines such as English ivy, wintercreeper, and Asian bittersweet. Invasive vines are problematic in a way that differs from woody and herbaceous invasive plants – the vines can climb. This allows invasive vines to not only impact native plant growth at ground level, but the vines can also overwhelm and kill large trees. Most have explosive growth rates and can cover a wide swath in a short period of time making control of them a top priority. There are many species of invasive vines in North America – this video covers a dozen that are widespread and are adapted to a variety of conditions. Be on the look out for them and stop them as quickly as possible!
