It streaks up trunks to engulf trees with a half ton or more of vines and leaves,chaussures Louboutin femmes pas cher, causing them to topple in winter storms.<br><br>For years, volunteers, ranging from Washington's lands commissioner to Portland's No Ivy League, have devoted themselves to the backbreaking drudgery of digging out the persistent plants.<br><br>Bell's group is working on a project to restore the 4 acre Riverfront Park in North Bend, east of Seattle, where ivy has swamped 95 percent of the trees. Ella Elman of EarthCorps says her group surveyed Seattle's 8,000 acres of public land 10 years ago and found that if just the ground ivy were clumped together it would cover more than a square mile.<br><br>"We're basically going to be losing our native forest if we don't do something about it," Elman says.<br><br>Arthur Larson knows the problem first hand.

"You just take it one tree at a time. It's just slow, tedious work."<br><br>Portland's 8 square mile Forest Park is at least two thirds infested with ivy, says Kevin McWhirter, volunteer coordinator for the park department's No Ivy League. He says Portland alone has at least 15 organizations fighting invasive plants.<br><br>English holly is common in yards and is a cash crop at small nurseries in Washington and Oregon, while English ivy was long favored as a fast growing ground cover for landscaping.<br><br>Both are evergreens, giving them an advantage over trees that lose leaves in the winter.

Homeowners, he and others say, should aggressively prune ivy so it stays in small ground patches and never forms flowers or berries.相关的主题文章： | ||
