Species Observation #24679
Ligustrum sinense - Chinese privet
| Species Data | Collection Data | Validation |
USDA Code: LISI Patch Type: Polygon Abundance: Common Disturbance: Other |
Collector: Dana Wilson Satellite: Blackland Prairies Invaders Date: 2017-11-12 Time: 5.0 minutes Location Error: 5 f |

Collection Notes: Throughout the prairie area - somewhat in clusters in the prairie and certainly in the encircling treeline - this species is abundant, mature, and enormous. Volunteers made a good dent clearing privet on 11/11/17, though could only work on small-medium plants, as the mature specimens were too massive to tackle with the loppers, and because the goal of the day was to clear encroachment in the open prairie area. Originally identified as LISI, these are actually LIQU2. Corrected 6/2/20.
