You can trust our team for garlic mustard control.
Lots of work goes into planting and maintaining the beautiful trees, shrubs, and plants on your property—watering, fertilization, mulching, pruning, etc. Unfortunately, invasive species such as garlic mustard can threaten the health and appearance of your landscape by competing for sunlight, water, and nutrients. We have the skills and experience required to address garlic mustard problems on your Collingwood, Ontario property, so get in touch with our team at WillowStone to develop a plan of action.
Garlic mustard is an invasive herb that threatens the biodiversity of the ecosystem. Not only does it spread its seeds in the wind, but its roots also release chemicals that alter the underground network of fungi known as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). AMF help trees and plants absorb water and nutrients through their roots, meaning the chemicals that garlic mustard releases inhibit the growth of native plants.
Garlic mustard control is no easy task; it requires consistent and diligent effort through various methods, such as hand pulling, basal cutting or mowing, flower head clipping, and sometimes chemical control. To fully eliminate garlic mustard, it’s necessary to prevent seed development and spreading until the existing bank is depleted, which may take anywhere from 2 to 5 years. Fortunately, our team is up to the task and can make garlic mustard control part of your overall landscape management plan.
