[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bravo! Especially if people eat the ones you kill.

Can you start on tearing down the invasive vines strangling the native trees along the C&O Canal when you get back? It is depressing that so much invasive kudzo, ivy, and wisteria are choking so many river oak, red bud and sycamore trees. [/quote]
Right, because humans interfering with nature always has good consequences. I wonder how does invasive species got there in the first place?….oh wait….humans, that’s how. [/quote]

Yes obviously … the local trees need help to survive reckless introduction of invasive vines - [b]mostly by suburbanites[/b] wanting decorative cover of trellise/ fences …[/quote]

Nope. Many of these invasives came to this country in the 1800s. Wealthy people hunted the world for interesting specimens to try to grow here. Go check out some of the famous old homes of the wealthy and if they had gardens they had exotics. Don't insult suburbanites. They buy what the box stores and local nurseries sell. Most of the nurseries around here, including Merriefield, sell invasives and dont' bother to explain to their customers that they are. People love nandina, Japanese honeysuckle, butterfly bush, barberry, Bradford Pears -etc. All invasive and brought to this country in the early 1800s. Even Kudzu was intentionally planted in the early 1900s.[/quote]
