Abstract:
Invasive plants, such as the kudzu vine or oriental bittersweet, are species that have been introduced to North Carolina, either on purpose or accidently, and have spread out of control. A major problem with invasive plants is that they are often innocently used in home landscapes and unintentionally spread into nature. This article discusses the importance of native plant gardening, and how to determine which plants are suitable to different regions of the state.

Abstract:
Giant Salvinia (Salvinia molesta) is a new invasive aquatic weed that has turned up in botanical gardens and ponds in eastern North Carolina counties, and has been traced to aquatic nurseries and dealers. Native to South America, giant salvinia is a floating fern that can double its biomass in about two days. The North Carolina Department of Agricultural and Consumer Services’ Plant Protection Division is working with dealers and nurseries to prevent the establishment of giant salvinia in natural waters.
