Weeds are everywhere


Scotch Thistle is a major weed in our area. The plant is propagated by seed and grows up to 2 metres high. Scotch Thistle is native to Europe and western Asia however it has naturalised in many other parts of the world including Australia. The spread is currently from Queensland / NSW boarder right around to Adelaide.
The colour and intricate pattern of the thistle is very appealing however the stings on your skin and spikes on your clothes are very unpleasant. This is one weed that is not going away.
