Trade in invasive plants is blossoming

Every day, hundreds of different plant species – many of them listed as invasive –

A Penn State researcher found considerable wilt and death in a tree-of-heaven grove in a southwestern Pennsylvania forest in 2003. Further research suggested that a fungus was causing the dieback. Researchers now believe that the fungus could play a key role in controlling the invasive spread of the tree-of-heaven. Image: Penn State

Fungus may help stop invasive spread of tree-of-heaven

A naturally occurring fungus might help curb the spread of an invasive tree species that
