Those innocent-looking flowers growing outside your home could be an invasive scourge threatening biodiversity in Toronto, and the City wants you to pitch in by killing them on sight.
The solution to this problem? According to the City, it's as easy as tearing these resource-hogging plants out of the ground. Among these, the City of Toronto notes species present in Ontario, including Tatarian , Amur and Morrow , which have escaped into natural areas like ravines and fields in the region after being introduced from their native Asia and Europe.
You can distinguish these pesky plants from their innocent native cousins by the invasive species' simple leaves and complex flowers that can be white, yellow, pink or red; thornless branches; and orange to red berries that often persist through winter.The calling card of these invasive honeysuckle species are hollow piths similar to a straw, while native honeysuckle species generally have a whole inner pith.
