Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) on Aug 3, 2015

Submitter does not have a specimen
EDRR Status: Local expert notified

Description of specimen

widely scattered plants covering a few acres.
I pulled a number of them during several visits this summer but I did not get them all.
It seems like a good time to nip the population in the bug before it spreads.
(there is also some knotweed on this island).

Commentary

Thanks so much for this report, Doug. I agree it would be good to get this population under control. I will forward your report to Oregon Parks and Rec, who I think manages that island. Take care, Tania
