State Environmental Officials Urge Consumers to Avoid Invasive Plants in Holiday Decorating (Nov 19, 2009)
Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs.
State officials are urging homeowners and holiday decorators to beware of invasive plants that may be used in holiday wreaths and garland. The two most common invasive plants are Oriental Bittersweet and Multiflora Rose, which are on the Massachusetts Prohibited Plant List. Under Massachusetts law, it is illegal to import or sell Oriental Bittersweet or Multiflora Rose in any form (plants or cuttings) in the state.
