Prickly Ash

[cchadww]

What is everyone's posture toward prickly ash on your farm. We have a lot of it popping up recently. It is native, so when I asked our state forester, she said it's good cover, so she doesn't have a problem with it. It doesn't look like it is a preferred browse for deer. How helpful is it for deer, turkey and quail? Appreciate your thoughts.

I don’t mind it. Maybe if it’s crazy out of control & u have the time- could knock some out & replace with better stuff. It’s usually in tiny patches as well - why it doesn’t bother me. But on flip side- sure, u could replace with better shrubs.

In moderation it's fine.
