Said no American ever. There are many things to have conflicts about between nationalities, especially now, but this is a weird one. Also, Europe is probably the continent with the most egregious history spreading invasive species.

What on Earth does that have to do with anythign? An invasive species is an invasive species.
Europeans were the ones traveling around between continents spreading plants from one to another without regard for the consequences.
asian and african flora into the us and eu had alot of invasive species. ICEPLANTs just blankets the california coasts.
When does a species stop being invasive? :0 also i think it looks pretty n i like the name too :3
when it’s killed off everything filling its niche so the ecosystem reaches a new equilibrium. which may not ever happen, depending ot the situation.

You would be wrong. It is an invasive species because it affects the whole ecosystem. It takes the space of plants that supports multiple species of animals and plants, which would then also die out.
How are so many people completely clueless about how eco-systems work, and just nonchalantly spout off misinformed nonsense about the subjects they are commenting about?

you should probably look into how the ecosystem of australia has changed through the years.
It’s invasive when it’s introduced by humans and outcompetes the native inhabitants. Which disrupts naturally occurring ecosystems.
Kudzu is an example. It’s native to Asia, but it’s a fast growing vine that does very well in the climate where I live. I was told it was originally brought over to help keep soil in place after construction work. Issue is that it’s wild now, and it outcompetes basically everything else so you end up with huge swaths of just kudzu. It’s a creeping vine that will literally cover a football field of forest, and strangle every tree there to death. Which ruins that habitat for fauna- squirrels can’t navigate it properly, birds don’t have trees to nest in anymore, etc.
So, yeah, the concept of an invasive species is entirely human made because it’s a thing caused by humans.
Basically, it’s usually considered invasive when it is brought to a new place by humans, and then takes entirely too well to the new place- usually because it doesn’t have any natural predators to keep it in check.
Just use its Latin name, Solidago. How am I supposed to know what it is called in English when each other language also has its own name.
And yes, in Germany I do see it as an invasive pest. But at least it attracts a lot of pollinators. The invasive species of Erigeron are worse.
I love goldenrod!
(OC)
Sparrow bro would love to perch.
“What the fuck does tempus fuck it mean?”
“When tis folly to be wise.”
Plus they have gambling in Goldenrod! And a radio tower! And you can get a bike there!
they eliminated that in some of the international versions, because “parents were complaining” about it.
I put a bunch of goldenrod seed down in the fall so it could overwinter. Next year will be the first my yard has it and im excited to see what it brings around. With that and the milkweed and all the other seeds I’ve thrown about, it should be quite a show.
