My Ligustrum Eradication Program
Channel: popcornalley
Date: 10/06/2011

During the exceptional drought of 2011, many of my Live oaks died. These were all growing close to a hedge comprised of large Ligustrums.
Ligustrums are an invasive exotic from Japan that spread rapidly, competing with native Live oaks. They have invaded an oak-studded natural area between my property and my neighbor's.
Ligustrum japonicum is listed as:
Federal Noxious Weed; TDA Noxious Weed; TPWD Prohibited Exotic Species.
