City of Fayetteville,Arkansas Page 9 Printed on 413012015 BEWARE OF THE ALIEN INVADER If you have walked through Gulley Park,Mount Sequoyah Woods or in many of our neighborhoods,you have probably noticed a bush that greens up early in the spring,has pretty red berries in the fall,looks nice and seems to be growing everywhere. It is Bush Honeysuckle,a plant brought into this country in the Iate1800's from eastern Asia and promoted as a hedge,ground cover and landscape plant. It certainly had those qualities but what wasn't realized then was that it had a dark side-it could spread and grow into almost any habitat around it--wet, dry,sunny or shady. So now,we are seeing it where it was never intended to be-in.our forests,our open prairie areas,beside our streams and lakes. It has become an"invasive alien"of the worst order and magnitude with the destructive capacity to slowly take over and replace native plant and animal communities. This alien invader is easily identified. It has,of course,a bush configuration and grows four to eight feet high forming dense thickets. Its leaves are pointed and located oppositely on the branch. In the spring,yellow/white flowers grow at the base of the leaves where paired red berries develop in late summer. Bush Honeysuckle is spread by birds and by root propagation. It is often seen growing into the margins of forests--from our properties! --where its dense,compact form and early spring leafing effectively shades out the crested iris,trout lily,trillium,spicebush and other normal flora of the forest floor. If allowed to grow unimpeded,it can actually prevent the natural regeneration of forest trees and halt normal forest succession. Its berries,consisting mostly of carbohydrates,do not make good food for birds,especially migrating species,which need berries and nuts that are rich in fat and protein for long lasting food stores. And, of course,when there are no nuts to eat,the squirrels and chipmunks disappear followed by the owls,hawks and foxes that feed on them and eventually,the normal balance between the plants and animals in their natural habitats is destroyed. Well,what can be done to fend off this"evil alien invader"? For one thing,don't allow it to grow on your property. When the invaders are small ("alien babies'l,they can easily be pulled out by hand. When they are full grown,stronger steps are needed. The conservation departments of Missouri,Ohio,Indiana and other states recommend cutting the"invader"at its base and painting the stump with a 20%or higher concentration of glyphosate(TM Roundup or Rodeo). This helps to discourage the invader from rising up again,but often repeat cutting and herbicide applications are needed in the succeeding 3-5 years --this invader is no weakling! What are the consequences if we do not act?--a major alien take-over! What should we do? I propose that we--arm ourselves,declare war on the"aliens"and start a major community crusade (campaign)and get after these guys--its time to act! "Crusadingly"submitted, Pete Heinzelmann y.

Years ago,it was actually sold at a local nursery,which probably explains why there is so much of it here now. What wasn't known then was its ability to invade and take over areas where it never was intended to be. We now are seeing it in our urban forests (Mt Sequoyah),our parks,and along our streams and trails. Its dense thickets,which green up early in the spring,effectively shade out native wildflowers and tree seedlings and block our view of these special areas.It also threatens the interdependent relationships between native plants and animals that have developed over thousands of years and that have led to the incredible biodiversity that we enjoy today.When monocultures like bush honeysuckle take over, diversity goes away.Its berries,which consist mostly of sugar,do not provide the balanced (diverse) and healthy diet that birds need. Besides sugars,birds need the fats and proteins that the seeds and insects of native habitats provide for them and that doesn't occur with monocultures of bush honeysuckle. My own personal experience with bush honeysuckle occurred on a small wooded lot next to our home where our kids used to play. That was thirty years ago.Since then it has been gradually filled in and overgrown with bush honeysuckle to the point where one could not see into it or walk through it About three months ago,we began the process of removing this invasive plant by pulling out the smaller ones and cutting the larger ones at their base and painting the stumps with glyphosate herbicide (like 20% Roundup TM). The stems and branches were taken to the curb,picked up by a city truck with a"clam shell grabber"and hauled away.The first load was free-a really good deal to get rid of a really bad actor like bush honeysuckle! We are now looking forward to seeing the return of what our natural Ozark habitat has always provided-dogwoods,serviceberry,crested iris,trout lily,trillium and many more species of native plants and animals(especially birds) that should be here next to our home.
