dave524 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/crops/...5/10hrt05a4.htm This one is gaining more and more of a foothold and is particularly disturbing to me as it is choking out many native wildflowers in our forested areas like trilliums. dog-toothed violets and the like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Andrews Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I agree that is the worst offender. The double whamy is it not only chokes out native plants but it toxifies the soil so nothing else can grow there. Even if the garlic mustard is pulled out.

dave524 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 It's in flower right now and very obvious cause of the white flowers, if you have any of it get it now and be sure to get the roots, before it goes to seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik.T. Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 In the rouge valley near my home there are electric lines that cut through the forest and the ground under them are basically fields of Dog strangling vine/Black swallow wart/cow tripping vine/ dogvine. They are a pain in the ass to walk through and they strangle trees. They also spread like fire on a dry forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
