Invasive Plants - Yellow Star Thistle

Scientific name: Centaurea solstitialis (Sunflower Family: Asteraceae)

Star thistle can form barriers that are nearly impenetrable.  The spines puncture tires and are brutal to skin, whether human, canine or equine.  There are a number of methods used to control star thistle.  One of them includes allowing cattle to graze in an area.  Pulling star thistle by hand (using gloves) works too.
