    Is it horrible that I'm thinking "DIE PRIVET DIE" when I see these photos? :P Posted 4 years ago

      Sidenote: Privet might be a cool species to hyperfocus on? Really common and you could see what sort of interactions are going on on an invasive species. Posted 4 years ago

        I actually haven't seen it that much lately. I only know of three spots where it currently grows, but am hoping they rip it out. I don't understand why preserves take so long to remove invasives. I know they are short-staffed, of course. But, I might just volunteer to rip it all out myself at this point. Posted 4 years ago

      Haha! I'm pretty sure I probably thought something like, "Aww poor privet has a booboo" when I spotted this. May it rot. Posted 4 years ago

      Thanks, it's a guess for now based on some research. I am hoping that someone on iNat or MO will confirm it. Posted 4 years ago
