Does the tree smell like old gym socks or rancid peanutbutter? If so, tree of heaven.

Found this today: Stag horn sumac? Think it's too tall for sumac. It is also called Chinese sumac. Main tree is over 20 feet tall. |

Depending where I look:
Phragmites
Cattails
Autumn Olive
Multiflora rose
Tree of Heaven
Canada Thistle
Honeysuckle
Greenbrier
Field Bindweed
Beggar-Ticks
and
a species of grass that grows 30"-30" tall and has sharp edges on the leaves.

I've only heard of half of those. Thought the Greenbrier was like ice cream for deer. |

If they want ice cream they can come out to the food plot! I'll trade you some multifloral rose for some greenbrier. Would even be willing to throw in some autum olive to sweeten the deal😉 Seriously I don't remember any in my buddy's 70. Think the deer control it. |

 5% glyphosate is supposed to kill this stuff. Anyone watch it featured on Grant Woods Growing Deer? Please, please, please, please tell me what this stuff is. It is growing like mad on our property and oh my god is it invasive.
Found it, it's spelled Korean Lespedeza.

5% glyphosate will kill this stuff. I will keep that in mind, this stuff is so incredibly thick at our lake and it is around 3.5-4' tall. Can't hardly keep it in check, definitely goes thru the weed eater string though. I'm tempted to put goats out there to eat the stuff.

For years, the DNR recommended certain plants to plant for wild life. Now it seems that a lot of those should never have been planted in the first place. A DNR Biologist that I'm associated with has stated that there are so many nurseries that sell invasive species it will be hard to stop the attack. According to him, one of the biggest problems is a nursery west of Indy No Where that has political connections and it is almost impossible to get a lot of species banned. No doubt that is not the only place that keeps selling the garbage.

Even native plants can become invasive.... just means they need some management.
It's when we invite these non-native/invasive plants to our properties that we are inviting trouble at times.
Corn, soybeans, clover and even apples all originated from other areas of the world. Yet some of our most significant invasives also come from other areas as well, and some where even brought here on purpose.....Thank you President Johnson for Johnson grass!!!!!

Same for some animals. Honey bees are not native and are extremely important for our food.
