What is Fennel?

Fennel is an invasive species proliferating in Victoria, BC. This perennial herb, characterized by its feathery leaves and strong liquorice aroma, is a formidable invader capable of transforming naturally open areas into dense clusters. Fennel can produce a staggering number of seeds and is capable of regenerating from root crowns, spreading across large areas in a short amount of time.

Why is Fennel Invasive?

Fennel exhibits several characteristics making it invasive:

• It establishes large monocultures that can dominate acres of land if left unchecked.
• Fennel is prolific in seed production, aiding in its rapid spread.
• It can reproduce from root crowns, enabling it to form new plants rapidly.
• Fennel exhibits vigorous growth and extreme resilience, aiding its rapid spread.
• It has the ability to outcompete native plants and harm ecosystems.

Why is it Crucial to Remove Fennel?

• Fennel infestations worsen over time.
• They can negatively impact native plant species.
• Fennel can potentially obstruct natural waterways.
• Fennel infestations can diminish property value.
• Fennel's extensive root system can damage infrastructure.

Permanently Removing Fennel

We begin by removing all above-ground fennel plants using specialized equipment. After this, we proceed to grind out the fennel stumps and root material using a stump grinder. When necessary, we employ eco-friendly treatments to eradicate fennel, where the cut fennel is allowed to sprout new shoots, which are then treated, resulting in the death of the root system. Our team has successfully eradicated dozens of fennel infestations, protecting Victoria's biodiversity.

Won't the Fennel Just Grow Back?

Depending on the severity of the infestation, one to two follow-up visits may be necessary to completely eradicate fennel re-growth. However, most cases can be handled in one visit, resulting in the complete and permanent removal of fennel.

If you're considering removing fennel on your own, consider these tips:

• Cut the plant to ground level.
• After cutting, the stump will be visible. It's essential to remove the stump as this is where new plants sprout. A pickaxe can be effective for this.
• Regular mowing can help manage fennel if the area is flat enough.
• Covering the area with an opaque tarp or plastic sheet can also be effective. This method prevents fennel from photosynthesizing, causing it to die over time.
