Weeds threaten growth of shelterbelts in Western Canada
John Walker of the Indian Head forest nursery warns that weeds are the main obstacle to tree growth in prairie shelterbelts. Annuals like mustard and false ragweed appear unsightly, but perennials such as sow thistle and dandelion harm young trees most. Best practice is weed control from planting through careful shallow cultivation and hand removal near trees, with limited chemical sprays due to early-season sensitivity to 2,4-D.
