What I just looked up on "bora" sounds pretty serious! Uprooted trees, roofs ripped off. Be safe!"They" are saying Bora, not Gale, not Chinook,
I might could learn to love Ground Hogs if their favorite food was Autumn Olive.
They are everywhere here. I don't hate them for two reasons: We have 25 acres, and the honeybees LOVE them.but I hate the pungency of the blossoms and the fact that they are 'invasive'.
At the bee meeting, the presenter (an arborist/beekeeper) said that autumn olive is the "perfect" invasive. Birds eat the fruit, poop out the seeds in the perfect condition for sprouting. Chop it down? It grows back and spreads. Dig it out? ANY bit of root can survive and grow a new plant.
We have chopped some down, and yep, they come back every time. The most we can hope for is to keep them (slightly) in check. Any twiglet that comes up in the gardens gets pulled out.
Another thing I have to stay ahead of is walnut. Squirrels bury the nuts, and when they come up in the garden, I am relentless.
