Report Invasive Plants

Invasive Species Alert List

These are plant species for which more information is needed to determine their invasiveness in the state. Some may not yet occur in Tennessee but are found in nearby states. These species have invasive characteristics such as rapid growth and high fruit/seed production and are known to be invasive in similar habitats to those found in Tennessee or are listed as a severe threat in adjacent states or pose substantial management difficulties where they occur. Through this list, TN-EPPC hopes to gather information about their spread in the state. Contact us to Report Invasive Plant if these species are sighted.
