Invasive species take more than they give. There are many pollinators that have specialized themselves to plants native to their area. Pollinators feed birds in their caterpillar form, which in turn feed many other species that prey on birds and their eggs. I see some comments insinuating that invasive plants aren’t so bad. I would love for these people to walk in a forest that’s purely invasive and then one that purely native, the silence may help them understand.
Plant some squash , all the worms ( catapillars) you could ever want , I wish the birds could control a pickle worm infestation, wasp are way more voracious imo but people don't like them bc they sting
If YT kept to these educational, instructional videos. There would be more educated nature loving American citizens. Th🤝nk you for posting & educating us on invasive plant species. I dont agree with herbicides.
Invasive could be another word for....we just haven't gotten there on our own yet. Birds spread invasive species all the time. They require no watering and still trap more carbon than a lawn that needs mowing 🎉🎉
@rustyshackleford3078 some people think the only thing needed to save the planet is a reduction in CO2. I see people all the time that have no understanding of real environmental threats. The media has made people believe that greenhouse gasses are the number one threat to the environment. I think global warming is the least of our issues.

Very true something like an Australian pine can kill a forest and create a dead understory

Awesome vid. Thanks for sharing this wealth of info on invasive plants.
Papacito Antonio… hehe. 😜
Balsam pear is awful. It’s taken over my back yard and kills everything it touches.
Should make all these plant stores only sell native plants.

a jack ass opinion by someone who doesn't care or understand the importance of their ecosystem and native landscapes
Did you even watch the video?

@@alexanderflorence9649I would think they did watch the video but just didn’t drink the cool aid 😂
You’re correct. There does need to be management though. The management, done properly will restore the environment to a better healthier system
Maybe it's meant to be the survival of the fittest, just like in human beings?
no, humans just suck at everything
You must not be interested in owning land
@@joshholschuh1847 I don't even know what that means, or what it has to do with my comment. Please explain.
@@umouthingme these invasive plants destroy the land you buy.
@@umouthingme and fyi it's not survival of the fittest in human beings. . It's manipulation of the weakest.
