Jan. 5 A small Texas barrier island has became the latest front in an ongoing war to stop a poisonous invasive plant that is spreading across the southeastern United States.
An Invasive Species Strike Team spent three days (Dec. 7-9) at Padre Island National Seashore, trying to eradicate all forms of Brazilian peppertree, according to the National Park Service.
The peppertree also known as rose pepper and christmasberry is a shrub-like tree with a resin that is noxious in the same way as poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac, park officials said.
