There is still teh opportunity to control this plant at this location but if left unchecked can become a major weed

User's notes

I came across a few plants at the Oakey Creek crossing on Rochford Road, Wallaroo, 2618, in November 2019. There are now plants in the roadside vegetation for 100m on each side of the road 2 years later.

Yes it can become a bad weed - do you know the local landcare contact?

I will contact the Landcare Group and Ginninderra Catchment Group Michael.
Coincidentally there are a few Potentilla plants in a drain opposite 19 Hall Street, Hall, 2618.
This is on the edge of the CNP section of the woodlands which have been floristically magnificent this sprummer.

I'm not sure about my being able to reach the Hall street plants but I will give it a go by walking along the drain. Probably next week.
