He folks  - I have gotten the thread off-topic

I was mis-reading and thought this was about PHRAGMITES which is what we have been seeing in Louisiana!! My bad!

All

Do you treat Phalaris arundinacea? Everywhere?

This species likely has both native and non-native strains in North America. When I worked in Ohio we treated it as non-native but many DC-area floras treat it as native.

Some key references (thanks to Rob Soreng):
-Baldini, R. M. 1995. Revision of the genus Phalaris L. (Gramineae). Webbia 49(2): 265–329.
-Shetler, S. G., S. S. Orli, E. F. Wells & M. Bayersdorfer. 2006. Checklist of the vascular plants of Plummers Island, Maryland – Contribution XXIX to the natural history of Plummers Island, Maryland. Bull. Biol. Soc. Wash. 14: i–iii + 1–58.
-Ibrahim, K. M. & P. M. Peterson. 2014. Grasses of Washington, D.C. Smithsonian Contr. Bot. 99: 1–128.

This may be informative but I don't yet have access to it:
Merigliano, M. F. & P. Lesica. 1998. The native status of reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) in the inland northwest, USA. Nat. Areas J. 18: 223–230.
