NYBG EcoQuest February 2018 – Week Three

HUNT FOR HEDERA
February 1–21
English Ivy plants are not inherently bad. We introduced them to areas where they have no natural constraints and so they become destructive invaders. Your observations in New York City have improved our knowledge of where these plants occur and how abundant they are-- data that is the foundation for management.
