Fighting Invasive Plants In Hillsborough County
Hillsborough County features this photo of the air potato as an example of invasive plants.
The Brazilian pepper, cogon grass, Caesar weed, and air potato are all invasive plants that destroy native plants’ chances of thriving in Hillsborough County. These are the top invasive plants in Hillsborough County and the target of area conversationalists. Hillsborough County Conservation and Environmental Lands Management monitors the county to find these invasive plants. They physically remove them and destroy the root. Sometimes, they even prescribe fire to control invasion. These plants choke out native plants and can destroy the eco-system necessary for our amazing native wildlife.
The county also has invasive grasses like Carpet grass, Wild Bermuda grass, and Torpedo grasses. These invasive grasses can begin to dominate your St. Augustine Grass or your Bahia grass. When that happens, the only way to fight it is often by completely eliminating these grasses and starting over with new, native grasses.
