Weeds
Tea viburnum is an ornamental shrub that provides edible berries and tea leaves. It is rarely considered invasive, but it has become troublesome in boggy areas in Virginia, New York, and New Jersey.
How to Control it
Physical removal of unwanted tea viburnum plants shouldn't be too challenging. The root system doesn't go very deep and the plant grows slowly. Cut the shrub down and dig out the roots. To stop the spread of tea viburnum, remove the plant before fruits are formed. Wildlife is very attracted to the berries and might help spread tea viburnum seeds into other areas.
