Speaker: Dr. Tim Hartmann
A native plant can never be invasive (by definition), and not all introduced plants are invasive. Invasive and introduced plant species with aggressive behavior have become a major environmental and economic concern in Texas, where they outcompete natives and threaten both natural ecosystems and production agriculture. Through this presentation, you will learn what makes a species invasive vs. aggressive, how to identify and manage these nuisance weeds, and be introduced to native options for each species discussed.
