Uh, just curious, why are you trying to encourage multiflora rose?
I would recommend that you fertilize with Roundup

I don't purposely go out of my way to encourage it, but I'll be honest if it comes I won't eradicate it because deer love the stuff and that is 99.9% of why I do habitat work is for the deer. It can become invasive for sure and takes some effort to get rid of if desired, which is why I feel one needs to know what they want on their property before they ever start.

That's pure BS. You can't show one property anywhere that has been taken completely over with any of those plants You have listed. Add sawtooth oaks another that is mistakenly on the invasive list. Just imagine a few short years ago you could buy seedlings from the DNR.

So an invasive has to completely take over a property before you consider it a problem? Ingenious.
How about Autumn Olives? Guess they are a good idea too? There's plenty of coal mine ground in both Indiana and Kentucky that is virtually useless because of them already. Whoever thought putting them in the ground in the first place should be planted in the middle of them.
Maybe landowners that encourage the growth of these plants should also be held liable for their spread onto other properties? If you like it and want it on your property, fine. But when it spreads to someone else's property you pay to have it removed.

Just imagine a few short years ago you could buy seedlings from the DNR. I saw it and experienced it. New area I went to to turkey hunt. I heard several gobblers sound off on the next ridge and I had to cross a 200 yard wide valley to get to them. The valley was flat FULL of multiflora rose. There was no way to get to the other side at all. It was a impassable jungle. Yes, I'd say that property was overtaken by the multiflora rose.. The other posters are right. You can not keep this stuff on one piece of property. If it is one place it will eventually show up next door where it is not wanted. |

BTW - Since the original poster has withdrawn his post this will be closed.
Considering we just had a rhubarb about Japanese Honeysuckle I'm not sure if he posted this to get stuff stirred up again or not.
