Invasive Species of the Month<\/p>\n

Jubata grass (Cortaderia jubata)<\/h1>\n

Mark Skinner<\/p>\n

There is an intense infestation of Jubata grass on the\u00a0California coast. As almost everyone knows it mars the most
\nbeautiful places such as Big Sur. On their web site California\u00a0Invasive Plant Council (CalIPC) describes that Jubata grass is\u00a0native to northern Argentina, Bolivia, Peru Chile and Ecuador.\u00a0It was grown in France and Ireland from seed collected in\u00a0Ecuador. It may have come to California from France and was\u00a0first seen in 1966. Jubata grass has been called the \u201cmarriage\u00a0weed\u201d as honeymooners dragged the plumes behind their cars\u00a0in Big Sur. Oy! What a mess!<\/p>\n

Jubata grass flowers from late July to September. No\u00a0pollination is necessary for reproduction. Flowers are female
\nonly, which produces viable seed. Each plume may contain\u00a0100,000 seeds! Plants may have 1 to 30+ plumes.\u00a0I started removing Jubata grass in the mid 1990\u2019s with Jack\u00a0Biegle and John Nowak, just north of Oso Flaco boardwalk.
\nI\u2019ve been at it ever since and removed hundreds from the\u00a0Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes, San Luis Obispo, Cambria and
\nVandenberg. I\u2019m happy to report that from the many hundreds\u00a0that were in the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes there are only\u00a0about twenty remaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
