University of Cincinnati botanist Denis Conover spoke to WVXU's Cincinnati Edition about ways members of the public can help to prevent the spread of nonnative, invasive plants such as Callery pear trees, English ivy and Higan cherry.
Conover said some nonnative plants in gardens, arboretums, back yards and other places are escaping cultivation to spread across wild forests in Southwest Ohio.
