English ivy is officially off the shelves in Washington—starting this month, nurseries can’t sell it anymore. The state’s crackdown comes after years of seeing this fast-growing vine smother local trees and crowd out native plants. Some garden centers were reluctant to lose a popular seller, but others supported the move, pulling ivy before the ban kicked in. If you’ve got English ivy in your yard, experts say cutting a chunk of the vine can stop it from spreading. Swapping it out for native plants could mean less yard work and more pollinators. What do you think—good move, or too little, too late? #Business #Industry #WashingtonState
