A new invader

5/19/2015

A new alien invasive plant, Narrowleaf Bittercress, has appeared in some areas that were washed out in Hurricane Irene and subsequently repaired with the addition of dirt fill brought in from elsewhere.  If you see this plant anywhere, pull it out before it goes to seed.  It has spread rapidly through woodlands in other parts of the country, and is thought to be even worse than Garlic Mustard in that regard.  As its Latin name (Cardamine impatiens) suggests, it uses exploding seed pods to throw its seeds some distance from the plant.
