Landscape Committee: July 2022 News

At the June meeting of the Landscape Committee, the subject of some dead plant areas on the slopes of Windlass, Brigantine, Windjammer, and Halyard/Wind- ward was addressed. We want to notify homeowners that Harvest, our landscape contractor, has been dealing with a very Invasive asparagus fern invasive weed known as Asparagus Fern and Brazilian Pep- per sprouts. These types of plants choke out our plants and prevent them from growing and covering our slopes.
Harvest has been treating this problem in test areas on the slopes of the streets referenced above. The treatment will cause these weeds and sprouts to die, but does not affect our plants, resulting in areas that have what appears to be dying greenery. This process will take time, but Harvest feels it is the only way to eradicate the undesirable plant material. Other areas will be added depending upon the success of this treatment.
