SPEC: Invasive Plants


On another list there is a message about iris pseudacorus I found 
very interesting and am sure Ellen will, too.

The poster quotes from the New Hampshire Co-operative 
Extension Service.  'Iris pseudacorus is banned from deliberate 
sale, cultivation, or transport in NH.'

I have grown only one clone of pseudacorus that I found to be 
invasive, and I left it at my former residence for the new owners to 
enjoy.  I did plant seed from it, and have one very nice, non-
invasive seedling that I would have difficulty parting with if 
pseudacorus were banned here.

I am wondering if any of the robustas have escaped.  The ones
I grew were bullies and tried to take over the entire bog until I shot 
them with Roundup.  They were impossible to dig, and I couldn't 
afford to employ anybody with a backhoe and a front-end loader to 
do the removal work for me.  I consider robustas to be more 
invasive than pseudacorus.
