I have a buddy with a 2 1/2-3 acre pond in Denton,Tx that this growing in it. It is rooted in the bottom of the pond. We've looked thru the tamu website but can't find anything close. these are the best pictures he has of it.




Any guess?

Primrose its a nightmare I've been fighting it all summer.. After last years drought it came back with a vengeance.

After closer look maybe it ain't primrose but looks very similar..?

How are you controlling it?

I guessed primrose too BGK but after doing some more looking, we think its alligator weed. Not good from what I read. Illegal in TX to possess or transport. My buddy is going to pull some up tonight so we can make a better guess. I'll post better pictures tomorrow. What did you apply to get rid of it?
Thanks for your input!

I have ben successful with round up. You can mannually pull it up when there is a minimum quanity.

He's got it everywhere and getting more daily it seems. Pretty sure it's alligator weed. Now we just need to figure out how to get it under control.

I agree spray round up on it.
