My first introduction to the idea of invasive exotic plants was fighting oriental bittersweet in Connecticut, 1978-81. At the time, I didn’t know of anyone else fighting the problem, but I called it a “take-over-the-world” plant & honed my recognition of it in its earliest, most easily pullable stages.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Margaret Chatham<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Jan 31, 2019, at 10:53 AM, Marc Imlay <<a href="mailto:ialm@erols.com" class="">ialm@erols.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="">In Maryland Oriental Bittersweet has become about 10 times more difficult to control in the last decade bas discussed at a MISAC meeting by many folks in the meeting.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><b class=""><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: blue;" class="">Marc Imlay, PhD<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></b><o:p class=""></o:p></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b class=""><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: blue;" class="">Conservation biologist, Park Ranger Office, Non-native Invasive Plant Control coordinator.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">(301) 442-5657 cell <a href="mailto:ialm@erols.com" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);" class="">ialm@erols.com</span></a><br class="">Natural and Historical Resources Division<br class="">The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission</span></b><o:p class=""></o:p></p><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div class=""><div style="border-style: solid none none; border-top-width: 1pt; border-top-color: rgb(225, 225, 225); padding: 3pt 0in 0in;" class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><b class="">From:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>MAIPC <<a href="mailto:maipc-bounces@lists.maipc.org" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class="">maipc-bounces@lists.maipc.org</a>><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b class="">On Behalf Of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>Melissa Bravo<br class=""><b class="">Sent:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Thursday, January 31, 2019 10:48 AM<br class=""><b class="">To:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>MAIPC Listserve (<a href="mailto:maipc@lists.maipc.org" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class="">maipc@lists.maipc.org</a>) <<a href="mailto:maipc@lists.maipc.org" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class="">maipc@lists.maipc.org</a>>; Ossi, Damien (DOEE) <<a href="mailto:damien.ossi@dc.gov" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class="">damien.ossi@dc.gov</a>><br class=""><b class="">Subject:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Re: [MAIPC] Invasive plants and climate change<o:p class=""></o:p></div></div></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class="">The Invasive Plants guide sold by StackPole is sorted climatically and I have found it a good indicator of what can transition with a few degrees of minimum maximum temperatures.
