the Plant Doctor Bruce Williams, Ph.D. By Bruce Williams, Ph.D. Area Specialized Agent, Turfgrass Cooperative Extension Service Dear Plant Doctor: Behind the garage in my old house there was a type of green leafy plant with microscopic sting ing hairs on it. When this plant brushed up against my legs, the plant hairs produced a tingly, burning feeling that sometimes resulted in lots of red, itchy bumps. What kind of plant could cause this reaction and what can you tell me about this weed? Many plants can cause the dermatitis you describe. Positive identification requires a plant sample. Some of the plants I would suspect as culprits are the wood nettle (Laportea canadensis) or stinging nettle (Urtica sp). How ever, it would be unusual to find these plants here since both plants arc normally found in the Piedmont or mountain regions of North Caro lina. Some folks react strongly to trumpet creeper or cow-itch vine (Campsis radicans) which is a com mon weed throughout North Caro lina. Dear Plant Doctor: We have been struggling to get rid of this horrible thorny vine (leaves enclosed) that keeps com ing up in our yard at Bald Head Island. We dig and dig but the enormous sweet-potato-like roots are hard to remove intact - and they keep coming back! Is there some kind of weed killer for plants with tough, leathery leaves? I hate using poisons but this vine is so tenacious. I think this plant is good for dunes and beaches but would prefer not scratching my ankles each time I go out in the yard to walk the dog. The plant you sent me is called . grcenbrier or catbrier (S mi lax sp). Greenbrier is in the lily family and a close relative of asparagus. This tough, weedy vine produces huge rhizomes that are used by the plant to store starch. The rhizomes and fresh stems reportedly were used by early colonists and native Amer icans as a food source during hard times. Bald Head Island is one of the most beautiful spots on the North Carolina coast. Ancient live oak and palm forests crown sand and lime stone ridges that gradually transition to sand dunes, beachgrass and sea oats. Greenbrier covers the ground in areas between the forest and the frontal dunes creating huge, lush, green hummocks that cover the near-sterile sand. I suggest you select a small area in your yard just for the dog and con centrate on killing only the thorny types of greenbrier. Greenbrier stems can be thorny or smooth. Leave the smooth type of greenbrier for a groundcover. You can spot • treat foliage with glyphosate . (Roundup) or dicamba (Banvel). Be ‘ careful when treating your green brier since spray-drift can severely damage or kill many desirable . plants. Repeat treatment in four ' weeks if the targeted plants are not ■ dead. • Late summer and early fall are : prime time for control for this woody plant. Follow all pesticide ■ label instructions. ’ Dear Plant Doctor: ‘ I read your article about • euonymus scale. Last year, I had a : bush that was covered with scale. ; I happened to have been spraying * a fire ant mound with Raid aerosol insecticide. I sprayed the entire bush with Raid and the ‘ scale disappeared. The bush came back beautifully. I also find that • spraying Raid on fire ant mounds ; kills the ants in a matter of ; minutes. Using this method seems I so much quicker and more ► thorough than using Amdro or the ; other types of bait controls. I just l thought I would pass this bit of in I formation along to you. 1 Thank you for your letter. How * ever, please follow the label instruc tions on whatever pesticide you are 2 i$5 ERB PLANTS Over 400 Varieties lelton's Herb Farm E£ :S1 340 Goodman Rd. 5 miles ndrth of Winnabow, (910) 253-5964 Wednesday-Saturday 8 a.m.-5 p.m. using. To my knowledge, Raid is not labeled for euonymus scale or fire ant control. The following quo tation comes from the 1994 North Carolina Agricultural Chemicals Manual, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, North Carolina State University: "It is a violation of law (state and federal) to use any pesticide in a manner not permitted by its label ing. To protect yourself, never apply any pesticide in a manner or for a purpose other than as instructed on the label or in labeling accompany ing the pesticide product that you purchase. Don’t ignore the instruc tions for use of protective clothing and devices and for storage and dis posal of pesticide wastes, including containers." Dear Plant Doctor: Why does my pumpkin plant fail to develop fruit? Many times I have pollinated the "female" flow er but no further development takes place. The embryonic fruit fails to develop and falls off. Is it the weather or what? Pumpkins (Curcurbita pepo) are nothing more than big squash and thus are susceptible to many of the same cultural problems, diseases and insects as the squash. A lot of factors could have caused the abor tion of the immature fruit. 1 would suggest you first soil-sample and then read the publication "Growing Pumpkins and Winter Squash — Horticulture Information Leaflet #24" which I will send to you. Good luck. Send your gardening comments or questions to The Plant Doctor, P. O. Box 109, Bolivia, NC 284322. Please send a SASE if requesting information or a reply.

HI F The Cycles of the Marsh In the sprins, the tired brown stalks of last year’s marsh grass are replaced by this year’s new fresh growth of bright green. It's a . time of rejuvenation in the marsh; old gives way to new. As the old blades, now covered with bacteria, drop into the marsh, they take on a new role. The decaying plant matter, called detritus, provides a fertile diet for the small animals that form the base for the complex and productive estuarine food chain. Nowhere is Mother Nature more productive than the estuary. A food chain that begins with organically rich detritus, phytoplank ton and seaweed ends with treasured wildlife and sought-after seafood. In fact, 90 percent of the fish and shellfish harvested commercially and recreationally in this state spend a portion of their lives in nutrient-rich estuarine marshes. because our marsnes are so reruie anu vuai, it's important to preserve this habitat and celebrate the cycle of sprins rejuvenation ft* as one of fertility and health. 1-800-232-6210 i N.C.
