Vinca Major
Vinca major
This hardy vine is spreading rapidly in California, and is infesting more and more of the Mt. Veeder/Dry Creek area. The plant disrupts and overtakes native species and communities. Riparian zones are particularly at risk. Pieces of the vines break off and wash downstream and start new invasions. When working on eradicating the plant, start in the riparian zone and work backwards. Be sure to dispose of the plant in a compost pile or yard waste bin to prevent resprouting. |
