Look-alike Guides
Sometimes it can be difficult to tell the difference between an invasive plant and other look-alike plants. Here are some guides to help you tell these plants apart, so you can control the invasive plants on your property!
Note: These guides serve to be only a starting point in helping your identification of these invasive plants. These guides are not meant to be used for foraging or other plant-consuming purposes. Plants can look different at various lifestages, and further efforts should be taken to ensure proper identification, especially for toxic plants.
