[QUOTE="treefarmer, post: 4383399, member: 10041"] 25 years ago I received some free Bi-Color Lespedeza seed and spread it around our Tree Farm. It was supposed to be great for quail but I never saw any quail in it and learned it is an invasive exotic. It didn't seem to be spreading too much so I ignored it. 3 years ago I heard horror stories of it taking over a WMA so bad the Bi-Color was everywhere so I decided I needed to get rid of it. I used a 1-1/2 gallon pump-up sprayer and started spraying. I'd spray 1,000 - 1,500 seedlings in a few hours and come back in a week and spray more, even going on neighbors properties to get what had spread there by seeds in the mud on logging equipment wheels. I spent the next 3 falls and springs doing this and now only find a half dozen each trip. The seed is viable for decades so I know I haven't won the war yet. If you have invasive exotics on your property learn from my mistake and kill them before they spread. I have a few Alanthis on my property so I'm learning to identify it so I can get rid of it too.
