[MAIPC] FW: Fwd: Garnet Autumn Olive on sale for $35!

Wed Aug 31 19:30:31 PDT 2016

All,

I'm not certain whether some cultivars of Autumn Olive are more invasive
than others, but one particular issue with this cultivar is that it
produces more berries and larger berries than other cultivars. Since autumn
olive spreads through wildlife, more attractive, abundant fruits will lead
to an increase in the spread of the invasive.

Nothing in the description of the cultivar suggests that the seeds are
infertile, but even if they are claimed to be, it can be only a matter of
time before that is worked off (as some ornamental plants have escaped in
the past). Just because it isn't considered invasive right now, doesn't
mean it won't be invasive in the future. Not sure what can be done in VA
about this cultivar, however.
