Main Fire Trail Spurge

Tuesday 19 February 2019


With a good number of workers, we were able to get all the spurge out and the seed beads bagged. Before lunch was taken there was time to remove some of the thistles on the immediate surrounds.


This species is caper spurge (Euphorbia lathyrism) and is an erect biennial (occasionally annual) plant growing up to 1.5m.   The Wikipedia article on spurge is at this link.
