Re: Psued has been banned

Dear Fosters; Instead of loosing your white variegated pseudacorus to cultivation how about shipping it out of state? Sounds like a potential introduction to me, Also variegated plants are usually less vigorous. There have been some botanists that have speculated that since pseudacorus has been reported very far back in our American floras that some botanists have gotten it wrong and that it really is an American Native just one that has a distribution that is across the entire Northern Hemisphere.

I like this plant lots even though it is a terrible thug. We just purchased
a property that has natural wetlands all around it. Was in a bit of a
quandry about were to move it on the farm. Guess that solves it. I'm not
moving it. At least at this place it can't make it to natural bodies of
water on it's own. Going to be sad about leaving a couple of them behind.
Had a neat near white one and one that was very heavily variegated.
