Yesterday the Oregon Department of Agriculture announced
banning the sale, transport or propagation of English ivy and Buddleia davidii (Butterfly bush) as they are
invasive, noxious weeds that are a threat in Oregon. Here the AP reports that butterfly bushes cannot even be grown.
This is effective immediately for the Buddleia while the ivy's effective date is June 1, to allow businesses to sell the remaining stock on hand.
I'm still trying to reconcile
ban with allowing businesses to sell and deplete remaining inventory.
What say ye?
