Long time coming. I don't know what takes legislatures so long. This isn't govt overreach. It is about recognizing the very real problems many exotics create when they inevitably escape from our little controlled gardens. Those problems resulting in billions of dollars and billions of dollars in person hours dealing with them. Kudos to Maryland...stop dragging your feet on the others under consideration.

PS - there were 3 burning bushes on the propert we bought last year. They were the first things to die. We are still dealing with seedlings...and the ones from properties around us.
Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.
