If you have questions about this resource, contact your county Extension office.
Summary
Non native invasive plants are spreading in Tennessee forests and can crowd out native trees and wildlife habitat. This guide explains how invasives like kudzu, tree of heaven, callery pear, Japanese stiltgrass, honeysuckles, privet, miscanthus, princess tree, and autumn olive get established and why early control is cheaper and more successful. It outlines long-term management, with emphasis on repeated treatments that kill roots, and summarizes safe, label-based use of common herbicides like glyphosate and triclopyr.
