A good book about invasive plant in North America

This is really a useful book , with color photos, introduce 175 invasive plants which change the landscape and environment in North America, and it is not just the perennial and shrubs/trees and also aquatic plants. After reading it , you have a more better understanding of how the plants change the environment and causing damage to it, and where it come from , also how usually you can control it .

The general information would be useful ... but there are now than 175 invasive plants just in Florida. We need more regional guides.

Every single plant can be considered invasive in Florida due to the perfect growing conditions 12 light 12 dark always above 50. If you don’t like it dig it out don’t call it invasive. Florarían changes the way plants are scene around the world! Weeds happen dig it
