Class 1B: early detection rapid response

Known in Utah but in very limited populations. Also a very high priority, because eradication is still realistic.

Treatment on camelthorn works best jun - aug. A full profile for this species is still being written. Until it is here, the USU Extension field guide carries identification detail, and we would rather hear from you than have you guess.
