CommentsThe rosettes were observed starting along the outfall and continuing down about 50 feet along the perimeter of the pond. I have been monitoring this site since 6/14/19, I have taken samples of the rosettes as well as documented growth. The rosettes do not seem to be growing in numbers, but have produced fruit. I am more than happy to send my monitoring data if needed.
