Morrow SWCD to purge
Myrtle spurge
The Morrow Soil and
Water Conservation Dis-
trict (SWCD) was recently
awarded grants from the
Wildhorse Foundation and
the Howard and Beth Bry-
ant Foundation to locate
and remove Myrtle spurge
from the Heppner area.
A native of Europe and
Asia, Myrtle spurge was
first introduced as an orna-
mental plant for gardens.
Its tolerance to drought,
tightly clustered leaves and
attractive blue-green color
made it a favorite for land-
scaping. But this evergreen
perennial is not as friendly
as it appears.
Myrtle spurge contains
a toxic, milky sap that can
cause severe skin irritation
and blistering. For some in-
dividuals, the sap can cause
a severe allergic reaction,
possibly leading to more se-
rious symptoms. Now con-
sidered an invasive noxious
weed by the Oregon State
Weed Board, the spurge has
escaped yards and gardens
posters throughout Heppner
to help locals identify the
plant and provide informa-
tion. Any questions or con-
cerns about Myrtle spurge
can be directed to Jared
Huddleston of the Morrow
SWCD at 541-676-5452,
ext. 101. For more informa-
tion on Myrtle spurge visit
the SWCD website at www.
