Marin Restoration Dipsacus fullonum – Teazel

            Up to the left and tucked down below the coyote bush are teasel plants (Dipsacus fullonum).  It is native to Eurasia and Northern Africa, not California.  

The spiky oval brown shapes are dried out flowers.  The green at the base of the coyote bush is a young one.  They have a substantial tap root that we took out when possible.  The larger tap roots will put out new growth if the tops are just broken off.

I don't know if it can be classified as invasive, since I don't know how aggressively it spreads or if it has an adverse impact on the ecology of the area.  But at some level it takes moisture, nutrients and sunlight from native plants.  We pulled at least 100 teasel plants, young and old.
