Invasive Species B/C

[Magikarpmaster629]

Common Name, Genus, Spread, Common Season(s) of Flowering, Method of Introduction, Part of US it Affects, Methods of Control

[hide]While I'm not 100% certain, it could be...

Tamarix Gallica, "salt cedar", Flowers in Winter, Brought over from the middle-east, Effects southwestern United States, applying herbicide to the stump of tree. (This is probably way off if it's the wrong organism.)|[/hide]

NOTE: Can you please let me know how to hide responses, I've yet to figure it out.

Nope, you were right The name is misleading, as the picture had flowers, yet it's called Salt Cedar.

Can we keep this limited to the National Invasive Species list? I know the rules say identify regional species, but I don't think any of us want to learn every regional invasive species...

Okay then:

This one should be easy... but long: scientific name, common name, how long do they live in the wild, method of introduction, where they are native to, where they were introduced, environmental issues, intermediate host for what disease-causing agent (Click to Show Hidden Text)
