Garlic Mustard Removal in Northville Township
Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata) is an herbaceous weed-like plant that spreads quickly and can out-compete native understory plants, including tree seedlings. Their small seeds can be spread by wind or by human activity.
The best way to control Garlic Mustard is with repeated hand pulls of second-year plants after they flower but before they go to seed (usually in May). Plants will be bagged and disposed of to prevent further spread. More info about Garlic Mustard can be found at - https://oaklandinvasivespecies.org/garlic-mustard/
