This means we are certified to identify and remedy the occurrence of invasive plants, which are nonnative vegetation with uncontrollable growth rates that threaten the existence of natural plants.

Almost one-third of Florida’s plant species are nonnative plants that disrupt the natural ecology by displacing native vegetation and competing with them for resources, such as water and sunlight. These plants include:

Category I: Exotic species that have become disruptive to the extent that they have displaced or hybridized with native plants (melaleuca, Brazilian pepper, Australian pine, shoebutton ardisia, etc.).
Category II: Exotic species that have not become as disruptive as Category I plants, but are nevertheless threatening with regard to their prevalence or growth rate (Guinea grass, castor bean, queen palm, wedelia, etc.).
