Are invasive tree species a problem on many golf courses?
I am asking because in my neck of Hudson County, NJ, cottonwood (poplar) is growing everywhere, literally like weeds. Tiny little trees sprout seemingly everywhere the cotton-like pollen has fallen.
I see many cottonwood trees sprouting in the Liberty National rough - that's a lot of weeding that they'll have to do if they want keep the original architect's vision of the golf course. Cottonwood grows very fast and gets pretty big.
I expect Bayonne will have (or has) the same problem.
Are invasive trees a problem on golf courses elsewhere?
