This still spreads easily, but is less aggressive than the other oxygen weeds. http://www.fnzas.org.nz/plant_survey/aq ... bfc575fc14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted September 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 hey thanks for that, looks like i may of struck it lucky for once as its definately not the stuff i use to find as a kid in streams etc (thats banned going on the links posted above ), anyway just did a google image search on "Elodea canadensis" and looks the same as what ive got , (thanks to the forum member who gave me the heap of plants to begin with) :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 It is also called Canadian water pest but I think it is that wide spread it would be impossible to get rid of. A couple of moons ago I used to sell 300 bunches a week to the shops in Christchurch. There is lots about but not much that is good quality.
