My list of top 5 combatant's:
Jap Bush Honeysuckle
Canadian Thistle
Johnson grass
Jap stilt grass
Multi-floral rose
The jap bush honeysuckle has been the worst, I have been able to beat it back to some extent with cutting and treating the stumps with tordon. Bad thing is the neighbors place is covered in it and they do nothing about it! The others I try to simply control with spot spraying where/when needed. Most you can control with mowing, but mowing and habitat work don't work well together. I tend to just spot spray once or twice a year. I have had a few callery pear and olives show up that I quickly cut and treat with tordon as well. The key is seeing the issue and keeping it from going to seed and then killing it if possible. Between other critters bringing me the seed in one way or another or when the creek floods that doesn't help either.

The honeysuckle is everywhere on our place. We don't do much but trim it back when it overgrows the trails or driveways. The Autumn Olive is trying to get started. We are cutting those whenever we see one pop up.

Honeysuckle and autumn olive are bad around here. Another that doesn't get labeled too often as an invasive is black locust. I probably have worse problems with it than anything, grows like a weed. Recently acquired a backhoe which has been real handy for ripping out unwanted trees and bushes.

Recently acquired a backhoe which has been real handy for ripping out unwanted trees and bushes. locust is actually native to Indiana. Not saying it's can't get out of hand, but most don't consider native plants in the same light so to speak. My folks place has lots of black locust, I think a lot of it has to do with the soil and the like as well. My father always claimed that he would cut a locust and 100 more would come to the funeral!!!! |

I am not 100% certain of the truth behind this, but I was always told sumac had a leaf at the very tip of it while TOH did not. I thought it was sumac as soon as I saw the picture. I am sure there are other ways to tell, but I don't have much experience with sumac and even less with TOH
