Sometimes confused with native switchcanes (Arundinaria spp.), golden bamboo is one of over a 1000 species of large woody grasses generally referred to as bamboos. Golden bamboo can be quite invasive, but not all bamboos are weedy. Clump forming bamboos are unlikely to spread, while running bamboos have extensive and spreading rhizome systems. Running bamboos can become quite weedy if not carefully controlled. 4020@http://www.aces.edu/forestry/news/ 2011-03-28T08:49:41-06:00 http://www.aces.edu/forestry/news/archives/004020.php http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FWSNews/~3/sLozFCKsfWs/004012.php By: Nancy Loewenstein School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences, Auburn University A Field Guide for the Identification of Invasive Plants view hereAuthors: Jim Miller, Erwin Chambliss and Nancy LoewensteinFree copies of A Field Guide for the Identification of Invasive Plants... 4012@http://www.aces.edu/forestry/news/ 2010-12-10T10:14:15-06:00 http://www.aces.edu/forestry/news/archives/004012.php http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FWSNews/~3/lFnixjWRGB0/004011.php By: Dr. Becky Barlow School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences, Auburn University Forestry, Wildlife & Natural Resources Extension Newsletter: Evaluating Auburn University Campus Trees view hereAuthors: Dr. Art Chappelka, Professor, Forest Biology & Ecology, Auburn University, School of Forestry &... 4011@http://www.aces.edu/forestry/news/ 2010-12-08T14:03:58-06:00 http://www.aces.edu/forestry/news/archives/004011.php http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FWSNews/~3/uC3JXwDdqEM/004008.php By: Dr. Becky Barlow School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences, Auburn University Forestry, Wildlife & Natural Resources Extension Newsletter: Outdoor Recreation on Private Lands view hereAuthors: Wayde Morse, Asst.

EnloeWhat is the issue? Cogongrass, one of the most significant invasive weeds in Alabama, will soon be flowering. This is important for two reasons. First, cogongrass is most noticeable when in bloom due to the fluffy white flowers and seed heads. With as many as 200 flower heads per square meter in a dense infestation, it can put on quite a display and is easy to spot - especially along roads, forest edges and in pastures. Second, to prevent seed production and dispersal, cogongrass should be treated after green-up but before flowering is completed. 3883@http://www.aces.edu/forestry/news/ 2009-02-20T09:35:50-06:00 http://www.aces.edu/forestry/news/archives/003883.php http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FWSNews/~3/9njuPiJfWks/003248.php by: Dr. Nancy LoewensteinCogongrass (Imperata cylindrica), sometimes called Japan grass, continues its rapid spread across Alabama and the Southeast, reducing forest productivity, destroying wildlife habitat and impacting rights-of ways. One way this aggressive weed is spreading so quickly is by hitchhiking around the state. 3248@http://www.aces.edu/forestry/news/ 2007-08-23T15:42:22-06:00 http://www.aces.edu/forestry/news/archives/003248.php http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FWSNews/~3/A5fssoQHyVo/003145.php by: Ronald W. Britnell As I travel through 7 counties that I work in the Northwest part of Alabama I continue to get a lot of calls concerning the encroachment of feral hogs. The main problem with these animals is they wreak havoc and cause major environmental problems throughout the United States. 3145@http://www.aces.edu/forestry/news/ 2007-07-06T10:35:00-06:00 http://www.aces.edu/forestry/news/archives/003145.php
