Here's a quick quote I found: Tropical Soda Apple is on the Federal Noxious Weed List (UUSDA NRCS). It reduces<br />biological diversity in natural areas by displacing native plants and disrupting ecological integrity. Plant<br />prickles can restrict wildlife grazing and create a physical barrier to animals, preventing movement through<br />infested areas. It contains solasodine, which is poisonous to humans. This invader also serves as a host for<br />viruses that infect important vegetable crops.<br /><br />You can read more at http://www.na.fs.fed.us/fhp/invasive_plants/weeds/tropical-soda-apple.pdf<br /><br />Pull those things out and burn 'em!<br /><br />DeniseDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13524370214822143927noreply@blogger.com
