1 Alternatives to invasive or potentially invasive exotic species Compiled and with an introduction by William Cullina, NEWFS Nursery Manager.** In the last 300 years, North America has seen a tremendous influx of non-native plant species as a result of human activities. As an example: of the 2814 species of plants growing wild in Massachusetts, fully 45% (1276 species) have been introduced (either on purpose or by accident) from other parts of the globe. 1 Many of these are agricultural weeds that began arriving in grain or ship s ballast soon after European colonists came here in the early 1600 s. Others were introduced by horticulturists or the federal government for use in gardens or soil stabilization, reforestation, and the like. It is impossible to know what effect this monumental immigration has had on native plants and animals. Certainly, of the thousands and thousands of plants introduced in the US and Canada from abroad, only a small number (estimates range from 3-7%) are thought to pose a serious threat to native ecosystems. These problem few are quite a problem, however. These invasive exotics have few if any natural predators to keep them in check, instead running rampant and displacing entire communities of native plants as well as the insects, fungi, birds, mammals, reptiles, bacteria, etc that have come to depend on them. Be it Kudzu in the South, Eucalyptus in California, Brazilian Pepper in Florida, Oriental Bittersweet in the Northeast, or Himalayan blackberry in the Northwest, invasive species have the potential to completely alter habitats, disrupt natural cycles of disturbance and succession, and most importantly, greatly decrease overall biodiversity, pushing rare species to the brink of extinction. Many ecologists now feel that invasive species represent the greatest current and future threat to native plant and animal species worldwide greater even than human population growth, land development, and pollution. It is high time that we horticulturists recognize our responsibility to both cease the importation and introduction of new and potentially invasive exotic plants and to stop growing and planting known or suspected invasives regardless of their ornamentality or consumer demand. I believe that we need to adopt the precautionary principle as far as plant introductions are concerned, and assume a species (including all of its cultivars) is invasive until proven otherwise (rather than the current approach of innocent until proven guilty ). At least let s not make this situation any worse. Toward this end, I have compiled a list of invasive or potentially invasive woody exotics compiled from the Plant Conservation Alliance s Alien Plant Working Group website together with possible alternatives among our native species. I have tried to find substitutes that share similar ornamental features and adaptability, while lacking invasive tendencies. However, keep in mind that the freedom from pests and diseases and thus ease of culture that make some grow anywhere exotic species so popular in the landscape industry is the same resiliency that allows them to escape and run rampant, too. There are very few native plants as problem-free as some of the worst invaders, which is the very reason these are not invasive as well. Furthermore, there are a few native species, such as Black Locust, some of the Junipers, and Cypresses, that have the potential to become moderately invasive if planted far outside their native range. So, instead of searching for a few species that will grow anywhere idiot-proof plants, if you will we, as gardeners and landscape professionals need to broaden our horizons quite a bit. We have an amazing, amazing native flora here, which can fill our gardens and wild lands with beauty, diversity, and life if we just take the time to notice and learn. **A version of this material was originally published as part of Native Trees, Shrubs & Vines: A Guide to Using, Growing, and Propagating North American Woody Plants by William Cullina, Houghton Mifflin, Sorrie and Somers, The Vascular Plants of Massachusetts: A County Checklist p.xiii
