Location

Ludwigia peploides ssp. montevidensis was first observed in the Blue Heron Wetlands in 2006. By 2011 the weed was present in 3 of the four ponds with over 50% of the wetland habitat containing a monoculture. An ongoing eradication project has been in effect since 2011 with treatments of 3% glyphosate and 1% surfactant providing adequate control.
