WEEDS
A weed is any plant that is
not indigenous to a certain area, and is self-propogating. Problem weeds propogate themselves at the
expense of the local flora, thereby reducing biodiversity and harming local
ecosystems. Many weeds are garden
escapees.
The very definition of a
weed means that they are site-specific.
ie. A plant may be local to
Sydney, be a weed in Melbourne and not be a problem in Perth. Thus there is no hard & fast list that
people can consult.
If you have any concerns
about plants that may have weed potential in your area, contact your local
Council or local Department of Agriculture.
