Dan Sturman – Center Pointe Neighborhood
VCA Member Dan Sturmon asked that we alert members to look out for an invasive plant species now being seen in Rancho Vistoso called Stinknet. Dan provided the attached information from Desert Oasis regarding this quick growing and difficult to irradicate invader.
Stinknet (Oncosiphon piluliferum): Tucson’s Unwanted Guest
Stinknet is the not-so-friendly invader that’s made its way to Tucson from the Phoenix area. Originally from South Africa, this invasive plant has found a home in our desert landscape.
Stinknet’s rapid spread in the Tucson area has become a cause for concern among conservationists and residents alike because it is so proliferate and hard to kill. Even Roundup won’t kill it!
