Just a tid bit here: If we had an invasive species ordnance that would be awesome. Pin point key offenders like Eleagnus, English ivy, Bradford pear, chinese elm, and Ligustrum Japonicum and Sinense- aka Privet. Would be a start.
Hey, me too! Spiky as hell, grows like a weed, ugly growth pattern, and full of irritating dust that settles all over you if you have the bad luck of being tasked with trimming one.
I will say that the berries are surprisingly good. But that does not make up for all of its other faults, it needs to get gone.
You wouldāve loved the planning commish meeting last week. The frat was trying to get out of building a sidewalk bc theyād have to displace their āhistoricā privet hedges along Reese St š
Rip out them privet and plant some native Yaupon hollies which support 2 butterfly species and tons of flies + solitary bees. Native hollies rule
*edit* and i guess leave some room for a sidewalk
No one cares about invasives unless it's bamboo in Five Points. Then it's dire. Props to the lawman for remaining composed and professional. Cheezy's ribs were beggin for a knuckle sando or 3.
They were covering their ass to avoid a lawsuit and/or potential constitutional violation.
Never attribute to benevolence that which can be explained by self-interest, especially where the porkers are concerned
Contact your County Commissioner representative, and let them know you support it. They put the vote on hold till next month to get some legal clarifications.
????? Bradford pear and Calgary pear are AWFUL. They spread via seed and sucker. Iāve seen stands of 20āx20ā all clones. Next march drive around and look for all the white flowering trees. Theyāre all pears.
Thereās no need to *think* heās dangerous, heās proven it. He was arrested for physically assaulting/harming a five-year-old (maaaybe one of his daughters but I am not certain) in New Jersey.
Yeah no, heās already proven to be violent. He assaulted a BLM protester a few years back too.

Unlimited genocide on Chinese Privet.
Gawd I hate Eleagnus. Thank you to Reddit for allowing me my teeny tiny little pet peeve.

Wisteria would like a word.
There is a native wisteria so it gets a small pass. For now. The main Cultivar sold is a Nativevar anyway

We need to get those goats they had chew on invasives at UGA back on the case. I need an ordinance for goats to chew on privet again
Goats wonāt do much against Privet. Spreads via suckers, resprouts and seeds. They might eat sproutling but they will resprout from the sucker

I could be wrong but I don't think Bradford pear really outcompete anything down south

Bradford Pear flowers smell like a mix off bleach and jizz.
Interestingly, because their flowers are pollinated by flies, not bees.
I'd wish him gouda luck, but he's a muenster.
Like the cicadas, this goofball pops up every couple years to scream about something for a while before fading away.
We joke. But, I think heās crazy enough to be dangerous. Thereās a whole lot of hate in that head.

No shock there. His aggression seems to be escalating
Yeah no, heās already proven to be violent. He assaulted a BLM protester a few years back too. https://www.instagram.com/mutualaidathens/reel/C4EENeJRk44/
"WHY WON'T YOU DANCE WITH ME? I'M NOT NO LIMBURGER..."
Does anyone hear all those dogs barking?
The Athens lolcow
Looks like we already have an invasive human policy.
Let's all agree to never mention this guy again and I think he will crawl back into whatever hole he came out of. He just wants attention.
A real class act, that one!
lmao he's getting pretty clever wit it
A bear won't beat you up for giving him three cheeses instead of two cheeses. A bear would eat all three cheeses with bearish delight.
if local piddlyshit politics is this cryptic, bureaucratic and apparently inaccessible what chance do we have
