Re: [RC] weed free - Sky Ranch

Here's a website regarding a shrub/tree that was brought in to the West,
tamarisk, also known as salt cedar.  Introduced as an ornamental (oh, those
ornamentals!) it has become a huge problem, interfering with natural
waterways, because it sucks up so much water.   It has established itself
along creek and river banks.  Eradication efforts have been started in the
southwest, to try to help with keeping the water more available, especially
in recent drought years.

Here's another website, about alien plants.
