Dedicated to preserving Marblehead's open spaces. Trails and Forestry Projects. Raquo; Invasive Plants. Raquo; Roundleaf Greenbriar. The leaves of roundleaf greenbriar have a waxy look that is quite glossy. They grow along a thorny vine, turning yellow in the fall. Notice the tendril wrapped around an older vine in the upper left center of the photo. These thorns, alternating around the stem, are quite pronounced. 9 Responses to “Roundleaf Greenbriar”.

Dedicated to preserving Marblehead's open spaces. Trails and Forestry Projects. Raquo; Invasive Plants. The first of two sightings of kudzu in Marblehead. The large dense mats of vines have grown completely over all other vegetation. Kudzu has three-parted leaves with large broad leaflets up to four inches wide, although the three parts may not be fully developed. The black vine can strangle the host it uses to reach sunlight as shown by this encirclement of a tree. Click below box to download Kudzu PDF.

Dedicated to preserving Marblehead's open spaces. Trails and Forestry Projects. Raquo; Invasive Plants. Raquo; Purple Loosestrife. 8220;What a lovely plant! A single plant can produce more than two million seeds annually. Such high seed density overwhelms all local native plants, building up a seed bank of massive proportions. The result is a loss of plant and wildlife diversity. Purple loosestrife grows best in high organic soil, but tolerates a wide variety of soils including clay, sand, muck, and silt.

Dedicated to preserving Marblehead's open spaces. Trails and Forestry Projects. Raquo; Invasive Plants. Common reed is a native of the Americas and Eurasia but the invasive form that is taking over U.S. wetlands originated in Europe. The native form of the plant is less dense and generally smaller than the European form. Photo courtesy of the Tower School sixth grade. Once established the buildup of litter from previous years of growth prevents other species from germinating or establishing. 8220;All my ...

As noted by the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife, this plant, once touted as a “living fence”, now creates a “living hell” of thorny thickets. Even in its juvenile stage in early spring, its density of growth is apparent as are the thorns along the stems. Photo courtesy of the Tower School sixth grade.
