The State of Ohio now has an invasive plant list that has banned 38 species, some of which you may have growing in your yard. Have a callery pear, Russian olive, tree-of-heaven, common barberry, multiflora rose? These are on the list.
The state won’t make you dig up and destroy what you have, but these species can no longer be sold in Ohio. Sorry, the state can tell you want you can’t grow. Most likely, you won’t be arrested and thrown into a jail of brambles, if you do buy one from an out-of-state, clandestine operation.
Ada enjoyed temps in the mid-50s most of Thursday. Friday found snow blanketing the village, school closed, activities cancelled...with residents “enjoying” wind chills near 0. (Ken Collins photos)
