Jan 2021 LNAGSL Workshop: MoIP “Cease the Sale” Species of Horticultural Concern

.com/LNAGSL 1328 Forest Avenue Kirkwood, MO 63122

The Missouri Invasive Plant (MoIP) Task Force has identified 142 invasive plant species which they are requesting input on from 90 stakeholders as of December 2020. LNAGSL has been invited as one of those stakeholders to provide input on this list representing landscaping services, and production and retail horticulture.

LNAGSL is planning to hold a virtual workshop on Monday, January 18th for all member input on the plant species on the MoIP list. Current members will be allowed to provide input on any of the 142 included plant species on the list. However, not all 142 plant species are particularly relevant to the horticulture industry. Thus, in order to save time and make this process more efficient, the LNAGSL Committee on the Cease the Sale Workshop has gone through the MoIP list of 142 plant species and identified the which are most relevant to our industry. We will be asking for member input on the most relevant species first, and then allowing input on any of the less relevant species following that discussion. The following document divides the list into the Most Relevant and Less Relevant plants on the MoIP list in alphabetical order:

Most Relevant These plants are either currently commonly available in the horticultural industry and/or can be found on availability lists from production or retail businesses in the Greater St. Louis region.
