Introduction

Horsetail (Equisetum spp.) - a plant so ancient, it's been around since the Jurassic period! While its unique, hollow stems may add an interesting touch to your garden, its invasive nature and ability to spread quickly can quickly outcompete native plants and cause a multitude of problems for homeowners and gardeners. In Victoria, where the climate is mild and rainfall is plentiful, horsetail can thrive, making it a common sight in many gardens. But don't worry, Ascent Yard Care has got you covered! Our experienced team, led by owner Jake Innes, an arborist with over a decade of experience, can help you effectively eradicate horsetail from your yard.

The Challenges of Horsetail

Spreading Quickly

Horsetail is notorious for its ability to spread rapidly through underground rhizomes, making it difficult to control and eradicate. If left unchecked, it can quickly overgrow your garden, crowding out native plants and reducing biodiversity.

Difficult to Control

Horsetail's unique stem structure and ability to photosynthesize through its nodes make it resistant to many herbicides and control methods. This can lead to a never-ending battle to keep it under control.

Impact on the Environment

While horsetail may seem harmless, its aggressive growth can have a significant impact on the environment. It can outcompete native plants, alter soil chemistry, and even affect local wildlife.
