[MAIPC] Five-fingered Aralia Spotted in Baltimore City

Wed Aug 1 11:02:36 PDT 2018

So far, it's been a relatively slow spreading species in NJ -- we've used
Art Gover's glyphosate/triclopyr mix with Clean Cut surfactant (leaves
waxy).  Only major infestation was at Duke Farms in Hillsborough, NJ.

Of course, I'd have said that about Jetbead about 10 years ago...it's
approaching the acceleration phase in NJ...
