Horsetail Removal – The Realistic Truth
Complete eradication of Horsetail is unlikely to be ever guaranteed.
Horsetail is unlike many invasive species in the fact that it spreads through spores which spread each spring in the wind.
Many infestations of Horsetail have already affected surrounding gardens or land, this contamination gives the potential to recontaminate areas which are then subject to remediation.
In most situations where surrounding areas are affected, the primary aim is to provide near complete eradication to enable Horsetail to be controlled and managed going forward, this with the understanding that new growth may result from recontamination, if no surrounding areas are affected complete eradication will be possible.
