The recent rainfall and warm weather has been great for the region, landholders and of course…weeds! Below is the eastern side of the Blackall Range at Montville – the spectacular yellow mass is Japanese Sunflower, usually a weed of disturbed and forgotten places, but really establishing itself in this location.
Another weed that is slowly, but surely spreading throughout the Sunshine Coast hinterland is the Class 3 (legal requirement to control) extremely invasive garden escapee Madeira Vine. This weed is extremely difficult to eradicate because it reproduces from stem fragments and aerial tubers.
