It's true. But once they've established themselves they're a pain to get out. I've been on a bunch of ivy pulls, done a bunch of blackberry and japanese knotweed removal. Once they're in, they're incredibly hard to remove and outcompete everything else. Blackberries do not replace salmon berries and huckleberries as cover for birds, nothing uses japanese knotweed and ivy pulls trees down.
- staticautomatic 8y agoI recall reading some years ago the NC State horticulture school had determined that the only two effective methods for eliminating kudzu were agent orange and goats.
