Introduction

Buttercup, a member of the Ranunculaceae family, is a highly invasive and toxic weed that can be detrimental to Vancouver's lawns and ecosystems. As a PhD botanist working with Ascent Yard Care, a professional landscaping company serving Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, and beyond, I will provide a comprehensive guide on buttercup eradication from lawns in Vancouver. Our expert team, led by Jake Innes, a seasoned arborist with over six years of experience, uses targeted herbicide application and eco-friendly methods to ensure effective removal and prevention of buttercup growth.

Understanding Buttercup

Buttercup (Ranunculus acris) is a perennial, creeping weed that can grow up to 30 cm in height and 60 cm in width. Its bright yellow flowers are highly toxic and can cause skin irritation, while its leaves are often mistaken for those of desirable plants. Buttercup thrives in moist environments and can easily spread through rhizomes, making it challenging to eradicate.

Challenges of Buttercup Eradication

Buttercup's deep and extensive root system, often extending several feet underground, makes it difficult to remove manually. Moreover, its toxic sap can cause damage to surrounding plants and contaminate soil. In Vancouver's climate, buttercup can grow year-round, requiring a comprehensive approach to ensure effective eradication.
