Prevention and Control
It is currently unknown how to best manage the invasiveness of this species, as the full potential threat to native species is not yet well understood; public awareness and discouragement of planting in natural, moist, lowland areas is advised (Starr et al., 2003) alongside its removal from native forested areas (Space and Flynn, 2001).
Starr et al. (2003) stated that ‘P. dioica is likely controlled by herbicide applications using frill or cut stump methods’, but no specific herbicides are mentioned.
