Connecticut ranks 4th for invasive plants

There are creeps then there are plant creeps. A plant creep wants to upset the environment, ultimately usurpring economic stability on a region. Lawn Love has come out with a list showing we are ranked fourth for invasive plants. The top five in order are California, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and North Carolina. (Note: our geographical proximity to New York and Massachussetts obviously means greater overlap in areas such as northwestern and southeastern Connecticut .) The breakdown is as follows: No. 4: Connecticut | Overall score: 65.87 Number of Invasive Plant Species ( National Invasive Species Information Center ): 47 | Rank: 10 Number of Invasive Plant Species Reported ( University of Georgia ): 702 | Rank: 18 Percentage of Sunshine: 58% | Rank: 29 Average Monthly Inches of Precipitation : 3.6 | Rank: 17 National Association of Exotic Pest Plant Councils Membership: 0 (No) | Rank: 1 UConn has put out a helpful list of reported invasive plants.
