musk thistle.

they have a beetle that kills that, one of the cattlemen brought some to a place some miles from me 20? years ago and they found my thistle the second year, I think they got it all.

We have the beetles but that is like bear hunting with a switch when two of the neighbors don’t do anything to help.

Isn’t Thorny Locusts native? I don’t know just thinking. Kind of like Buffalo and Suckers people think they are Invasive but their native.

Finally got the mimosas about killed out, occasionally a sprout will pop up still.  Musk thistle is about like killing out starlings, you never win.  I know places that have had the bugs for 20 years, still have plenty of musk thistle.  I always have some brush killer around, mtiple times a year I go through the pastures and give the kiss of death to things like multiflora rose, honey locust, Osage orange, thistles and anything else that I see and want to kill.  So far after a lot of years I have yet to make those checks and NOT find plenty to spray.

When the wipers become invasive I will.bring steaks and cold MGD for ya FW.

In Columbia I would annually pull and remove Bush honeysuckle from our yard. The seed were coming in from our neighbors that had what I would call mother bushes.
