Invasives in Southern Forests

This App provides users the capabilities for combating the invasion of the major non-native plants taking over their lands. That includes yard landscapes, city parks, suburban and rural home grounds, hunting leases, farms and ranches. River and stream banks are particularly vulnerable as invasive plant pathways since water is a main way their seeds spread and it is favorable habitat for establishment. Invasions by plants in the South is increasing by 9 percent per year. Is one of those problems facing humans everywhere. But where we face it is on lands we use and enjoy ourselves and will leave to the next generations. It is a problem that we can tackle individually and as communities, neighbors, States and corporate landowners. As authors of the books we are grateful to Chuck Bargeron and the UGA Invasive Center team for constructing this highly useful and portable tool. The capability to zoom in on the plant images gives you details not possible in the print copies. And concise methods for eliminating these plants are at your fingertips. A truly ideal step in ease of use for you. We all have worked to provide you with the latest knowledge and ways to stop the plant invasions on your lands and those that you enjoy. Updates are being formalized now. Be Safe, Jame (Jim) H Miller

So far, I have ID'ed at least 20 nasty invasive plants in my tornado-stricken yard. Your pics are really detailed and helpful; thanks!!!!

Not very helpful

Amazing quality and quantity of pictures. Descriptions are right on and in-depth. I was able to find what I was looking for (English Ivy) even though I live in the West Coast.

This is an excellent comprehensive app. I was a bit surprised however, that Georgia's state flower is on the invasive list along with several old time shrubs. App is well written and researched.

Half if the species listed for Texas are actually sold in nurseries and good to cultivate here with our crazy weather. It fails to even mention some of the more noxious plants that we fight constantly like bindweed, at least that's what I call it. Plus, after I chose Texas as the region, it would never let me go back to the menu and choose a different place.

Always on the lookout for new plant apps and this is a good one indeed! Good quality and easy to see photos along with plant characteristic and distribution info help make this a good and well completed app. I just wish they would make one for the West to, and add even more weeds to it!

Downloaded, cover page opened, then nothing else worked. Now it just crashes. Only good thing was it didn't cost me anything (there's your one star!)

The numerous high quality photos are an excellent aid in identification in the field. The supplementary glossary and plant sketches are also quite useful for those of us without a plant-related college degree. I'd love to see more apps like this!
