HAZARDOUS:
Some part of these
plants MAY be known to be mildly to severely toxic to either animals and/or
humans. They might cause symptoms either externally or internally. The list of
hazardous plants is NOT complete and should be used as a
guideline only. It is based on information obtained from the web sites listed in
a Google search on "poison
plants" (opens new window). Use these for more detailed information.
To search for other Wisconsin poisonous species- County and Status Search. Choose Hazard/Poison - "Yes", and any other criteria.
ERADICATION: These plants are known to be highly invasive, out
competing native species and leading to a monoculture. They can destroy the
habitat necessary for a healthy ecosystem. If they are found, the location
should be noted and all individuals should be destroyed. The site should then be
monitored in the future for new infestations.
