Exotic Plant and Animal Removal: Mead Gardens


12/16/10
     I have been trying to ID this big soft leafed tree for a while now. Now I know it is the exotic/invasive Paper Mullberry (Broussonetia papyrifera). I had to test if the hairy bark and leaves would react with my skin. So I ripped out 12 small trees, making sure to rub it on my arms.
     Later I went to the other side of the park and pulled out 100 large Cesar Weed plamts and one small Chinese Tallow Tree.
     Even much later in the day, I had no bad reation at all form the Mullberry hairs.
