I went for a walk this morning on a pretty pathetic excuse for a two-track road next to a swamp. Ha! EVERYWHERE I walk in my neck of the woods is next to a swamp. I came across several small Chinese Tallow seedlings and pulled them from the soft ground- getting the majority of the tap root. Chinese Tallow are highly invasive in our area. Once they get a foothold, there's almost no stopping them. After pulling those, my eye kept on homing in on them. I kept pulling and walking until I got to the end of the two track. I returned and found a few that I had missed. In all, I figure I pulled between 50 and 75. Will it stop the spread? No. Will it slow it down.........at least in that area? I'd have to say "Yes".
