Fillongly Holly
Gorgeous day for walk at the beach and then a side trip to the Fillongly Meadow for the invasive Holly. Last January Denman Conservancy and the Denman ‘Pesticide Free’ group cleared Holly from a large area adjacent to the west end of the Meadow. The substantial piles of dead Holly are still present there.
In the previously cleared area I found and pulled a root that had resprouted. My catch of the Day.
I also observed a Holly bush sprouting around a stump that had been cut off at waist height at the edge of the meadow near the fountain. Such treatment is obviously not the solution.
