A Xavier University student just uncovered a major invasive plant problem on campus—Amur honeysuckle is spreading fast, crowding out native trees and shrubs. What’s wild is how quickly these plants take over: the student found over 20 in one small area after only spotting two at first. This isn’t just a Xavier issue—people from Tennessee to Connecticut are seeing their yards and parks taken over by invasives. The good news? Early removal is pretty easy, and switching to native plants helps pollinators and saves money. Should schools teach more about native gardening? What’s your take on tackling invasives in our neighborhoods? #Science #InvasiveSpecies #XavierUniversity
