  • Question

    The last two pictures of ferns on the Simple Key page have invaded my yard and nothing I do has helped. I even tried to burn out the last picture. I have been told they are both called horse tail. The feathery ones in the first picture have now spread to my strawberry patch. Please help me eradicate them, preferably without chemicals. I live in SE Michigan. Thank you

    Dear nwhite, I'm sorry but there are no pictures associated with your question. Without images I won't be able to assist. If you are having trouble posting images, feel free to attach them to an email and send them to ahaines[at]newenglandwild.org and I will try to assist you.
