Puncturevine grows each year from seed to form a mat of stems radiating from a central crown and root. Two characteristics will help pro vide positive identification: Look for plants growing flat on the ground with leaves that con tain several leaflets and are op posite one another on the stem, it is important to confirm that one of the opposite leaves has more leaflets than the other leaf. Look for yellow flowers that, when fully opened, are smaller than a dime. The spiny fruit will also allow positive identification, but it will be much better to control the plants before seed is produced. Puncturevine is in Morrow County and residents don't want it. This unwelcome weed is especially aggravating because of the sharp, stiff spines on the seed pods. Bicycle tires, bare feet and pets are equally vulnerable. Recreation, gardening and most other uses of our open space will be much more enjoyable if punc turevine is controlled, said a press release from the Morrow Coun ty Extension office. Early iden tification is essential for control points out Carol Michael Bennett, OSU extension agent. The key to preventing further spread is to recognize the plants before more seed is produced. This is fairly easy, continues Viable seed may be produced within two weeks after flowers are seen, so quick action is crucial. When puncturevine plants are small they are easily killed by cut ting the root below the crown. A hoe or shovel works fine. If no fruits are formed, the plants may be left to dry or added to the com post pile. If you find plants with the spiny fruits already formed, place the plants carefully in a bag. The fruits fall off easily. Take the bag to your bum barrel if you have one. Another option is to carefully collect all of the seed pods and place them in a microwave oven for about five minutes at full power to kill the seeds.
