Invasive Plants in the Phoenix/Mesa Area

Phoenix and the surrounding areas face challenges from several invasive plants. Below, we highlight the most troublesome weeds and their impacts.

1. Stinknet (Oncosiphon piluliferum)

   • Stinknet is highly invasive and spreads rapidly. Its dense growth can displace native plants, affecting local biodiversity. The plant emits a strong odor, which can be unpleasant for families and pets. It also increases the risk of fire hazards due to its dry, dense biomass.

2. Buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare)

   • Buffelgrass is a fire-adapted species that can dominate landscapes, increasing fire risks and displacing native plants. Its presence can lead to the destruction of natural habitats and reduce the quality of the soil.

3. Sahara Mustard (Brassica tournefortii)

   • Sahara mustard grows quickly and can form dense mats, which prevent other plants from growing. Its presence in landscapes can reduce the aesthetic value of properties and create maintenance challenges.

4. Fountain Grass (Pennisetum setaceum)

   • Fountain grass is an ornamental plant that has become invasive. It can outcompete native species, disrupt local ecosystems, and create fire hazards due to its high biomass.

5. Russian Thistle (Salsola tragus)

   • Also known as tumbleweed, Russian thistle can quickly take over open areas. It poses a significant fire risk and can cause allergic reactions in people and pets.

6. Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima)

   • This fast-growing tree can outcompete native vegetation and damage infrastructure with its aggressive root system. It can also produce chemicals that inhibit the growth of other plants.

7. Saltcedar (Tamarix spp.)

   • Saltcedar can consume large amounts of water, leading to reduced water availability for other plants and animals. It also alters soil composition and reduces habitat quality for wildlife.

8. Yellow Star-thistle (Centaurea solstitialis)

   • This plant can form dense stands that crowd out native species. It is toxic to horses and can reduce the usability of rangelands and recreational areas.
