Re: [Aroid-l] Invasive aroids?

From: Taylor <taylorholzer at yahoo.com> on 2018.08.14 at 21:44:32 It really depends on the climate. Where I live I don=E2=80=99t believe any could become an issue. I was warned about Pinellia pedatisecta, but it hasn=E2=80=99t spread anywhere on its own. I have been propagating and spreading it around my gardens since I believe 2011.  On Aug 14, 2018, at 4:36 PM, D.

Around here (Nashville, middle Tennessee) Arum italicum could probably become invasive, but the leaves are obvious enough that it can be pulled or dug and shared with a warning. But my experience with the Pinnellia spp. tells me to refuse to share this one most seriously. Never have tried Gonatopus outside =E2=80=93 would be surprised to find it seed hardy this far north, but it might be =E2=80=93 don=E2=80=99t think I=E2=80=99ll test it out.
