Concerned about Japanese honeysuckle, Oriental bittersweet, or tree-of-heaven swallowing up your land? Blue Ridge PRISM fall workshops will teach you how to recognize these and other pervasive invasives in their fall garb and how to most effectively control them at this time of year. Each session includes classroom and outdoor instruction (weather permitting) and discussion.
Topics covered in this session include:
- Identifying invasive plants in the fall and winter.
- Which invasives you can best treat now.
- Best fall practices for each invasive.
- Using manual & mechanical control methods.
- Methods for controlling invasives with herbicides.
- Choosing the right herbicide and equipment and using it properly.
- Planning a work schedule with best timings for multiple plants.
AND: We’ll have an invasive plant ID clinic, so bring samples of your mystery plants and we’ll identify them!
