Non-native Invasive plants are becoming a significant problem. A good example is invasive bamboo trees. There are two identical bills in the assembly and the senate (A3677 and S22186) that are attempting to deal with this problem by banning the sales of various invasive plants in New Jersey.

Residents of New Jersey do not have to wait for the legislation to help solve the problem. The NJ Invasive Plant Strike Team has put together a listing of invasive plants. Many of which are sold in NJ stores and nurseries. We recommend that resident do not buy such plants. The list can be download here.
