THE  CONSEQUENCES  AND  DAMAGE  OF  THESE  PLANTS 

 

Watch out for what these plants can do!                                       

The Purple Loose - Strife- Takes over wet lands  chocking many plants that live there.

 

Milfoil- Chokes the water and the water gets contaminated .

 

Autumn Olive- It  re spouts after being burnt  or cut and eats up the oxygen that other plants need. 

 

Garlic Mustard- If it is eaten it will sicken the animal that has eaten it and that animal will die.

 

Japanese Barberry- It is sickly to birds if it is eaten and it takes over plant life in the forest.

 

Japanese Knot weed- Any animal that eats it will die and it will go under ground and wind around a trees root not allowing it to get water.

 

Oriental Bittersweet- It covers other plant life and chokes the life out of it by not allowing it to get sun, water, or oxygen.
