Invasive Species Newsletter – Callery Pear and Leatherleaf Mahonia

From the desk of our Bugwood Image & EDDMapS Coordinator, Rebekah D. Wallace:

“Welcome to our March Newsletter on Callery pear and leatherleaf mahonia. These species bloom in late Winter/early Spring and so can be easily found this time of year. Callery pear is rapidly spreading across the Eastern US and leatherleaf mahonia is an emerging invasive shrub and important to be on the lookout for. 

Anyone can report Callery pear, leatherleaf mahonia, and other invasive species via https://www.eddmaps.org/ or via the EDDMapS app and experts that participate as EDDMapS Verifiers will review the records.
