Invasive Woody Shrub Removal

Invasive woody shrubs are a major problem here in southwest Ohio. Removing them is labor intensive, and if your removal methods aren’t effective, they might just grow right back. In this class, we’ll discuss some of the most common invasive shrubs in our region and how to identify them. We’ll also discuss removal options for each and the long-term management that’s required. Finally, we’ll explore native shrub replacements for a variety of site conditions.
