Jon SullivanHere's a new weed to watch out for in NZ: long-flowered Veldt grass, Ehrharta longiflora.I found one in flower yesterday. It's an annual relative of the now widespread perennial Veldt grass, Ehrharta erecta, which the NZ Plant Conservation several years ago voted the worst environmental weed in NZ. That's because it chokes out semi-shaded areas in bush where a lot of native herbaceous plants like to grow.Long-flowered Veldt grass may not be as bad, since it's a fast-growing Spring annual, but still, do we want to take that risk?At the moment the *only place* in all of the South Island that it's known is around the base of Hackthorne Road in Christchurch. Some effort has been made to contain it but the main property that it's on doesn't want the council on her land so it keeps spreading here.If you find it anywhere else, that's important. Note the distinctive pinkish bracts on the flowers. <a href="https://inaturalist.nz/observations/310728311" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://inaturalist.nz/observations/310728311</a><a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/weeds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#weeds</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/InvasivePlants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#InvasivePlants</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Biosecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Biosecurity</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NZ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NZ</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/botany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#botany</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Poaceae" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Poaceae</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/grasses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#grasses</a>

Jon SullivanHere are a couple of vine weeds to watch out for at the moment that are still uncommon but actively spreading around Ōtautahi-Christchurch, New Zealand.What's commonly known as German Ivy (Delairea odorata) is a fast growing vine from, well, not anywhere close to Germany. It's a native to southern Africa. It's been establishing in parts of the Port Hills and I saw the first one in Halswell last week. Its leaves are thinner than English ivy and it has yellow flowers. <a href="https://inaturalist.nz/observations/306208256" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://inaturalist.nz/observations/306208256</a>Chilean glory creeper (Eccremocarpus scaber) is an orange-flowered vine that's been popping up in and around the city.

Jon Sullivan<a href="https://cloudisland.nz/@dubh" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@dubh</a> When it's done right, people can make a huge difference to NZ's environment by spotting emergent weeds as they're beginning to establish. My favourite recent example is Dave Holland's discovery in 2020 of wild black swallow-wort on the edge of the Timaru Botanic Gardens. That was the first wild record of the species anywhere in NZ, and it's a wetland weed overseas. Timaru Council and Environment Canterbury staff stepped in with control, over several years, and now it's gone.That's one environmental weed nipped in the bud before it could get started.<a href="https://inaturalist.nz/observations/65849739" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://inaturalist.nz/observations/65849739</a><a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/weeds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#weeds</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/BiologicalInvasions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BiologicalInvasions</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/InvasivePlants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#InvasivePlants</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/eradication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#eradication</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/ParticipatoryScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ParticipatoryScience</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/WeedSurveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WeedSurveillance</a>

Ms. Que Banh<a href="https://beige.party/tags/FoliageFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FoliageFriday</a>Although I've always loved the beautiful foliage of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/JapaneseBarberry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JapaneseBarberry</a> shrubs, we've avoided adding any to our own gardens. They're highly invasive if not heavily controlled. Japanese barberry provides prime environments for <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ticks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ticks</a> to breed due to the high humidity in barberry's dense foliage. It's believed that spread of barberry is correlated with the spread of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/LymeDisease" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LymeDisease</a>.I really wish stores/nurseries that sell plants would inform customers on problematic ones so folks can make more informed decisions. Many uninformed customers often buy Japanese barberry shrubs because they're deer resistant & visually appealing. I suggest avoiding it. It's been banned for sale in some USA states.

aterI'm trying to get awareness out in <a href="https://sb17.space/tags/northwestCO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#northwestCO</a> about the invasive thistle that is absolutely devastating our ecosystems. But with funding cuts it's a one person mission out here.Scotch thistle is a thistle from Scotland. I don't know when it was introduced here specifically, but over the last five years I have watched it overwhelm the native sagebrush, making thick, spiky forests over large swaths of unmanaged rangeland and wilderness. It can get several feet taller than me. The pictures I have are from my yard, which I have been working on rewilding with native wildflowers and sagebrush. I try to use a machete to knock it down before it gets to the flowering stage but it's futile, my neighbors have entire forests of it. Seeds are wind blown.You'll notice I use the word "spiky" a lot in my alt text. There are no words to describe how hostile these prickly bastards are. Livestock, even less picky types like goats, avoid it entirely. But bees and other pollinators absolutely love its spiky purple flowers. <a href="https://sb17.space/tags/InvasivePlants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#InvasivePlants</a> <a href="https://sb17.space/tags/rewilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rewilding</a> <a href="https://sb17.space/tags/wildflowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wildflowers</a> <a href="https://sb17.space/tags/bloomScrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bloomScrolling</a> <a href="https://sb17.space/tags/bee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bee</a> <a href="https://sb17.space/tags/bumblebee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bumblebee</a>

Jungle DressThe Suriname cherry (aka Brazilian cherry) is considered invasive to Florida and people generally consider that to be a bad thing, but we’ve been experiencing drought since 2023 and I think we should reevaluate our feelings towards plants that produce food without human intervention or even rain. We should consider the Suriname cherry a miracle food. They are rich in Vitamin A & C, potassium and antioxidants. All this from sandy, nutrient-poor soil and little hydration. The ones in this photo are from the hedge between mine and my neighbor’s yard. You’ll see this plant randomly in neighborhoods, along the sidewalk. Pigeon peas, mangos, chaya and papayas are other edible plants that require little to no care, are drought tolerant, and give us nutrient-rich food. We struggle to grow “conventional” foods in our gardens, yet nature provides with ease.
