<br>
How can we control lesser celandine?? Pulling is counter productive and the parks are not likely to nor should they do whole sale spraying. So what to do??? On my steamside property ive actually been digging up and disposing of the mats of plants along with the soil the bulbs are in. But not doable for huge fields of it.<br><br><div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in">

According to this <a href="http://blogs.nybg.org/science-talk/2014/07/detecting-an-invasive-plant-before-its-too-late/" target="_blank">link</a> it’s a big problem in NY.

photos.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">The USDA only lists it occurring in NY, but now that there’s been multi-state communication about this species, we’re finding that it is more wide spread in this region than previously thought. Larry posted photos of this plant on some local listservs and found someone from a nearby neighborhood has it growing in their yard (yet to be verified). NY says that Philly reported a sighting. There was also a potential sighting in Northern Virginia. We should add it to our EDRR list.
