| Comments | Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum) was observed on July 3, 2017 by a former MnDNR employee and University of Minnesota PhD student. While using a rake to sample Northern watermilfoil (Myriophyllum sibiricum) the student collected the invasive plant. The exact location of the sampling point was noted (see map 1). The presence of this plant was then reported to the MnDNR on July 5, 2017. Suspected plants had 13-17 leaflet pairs, whorls of 4 widely spaced (~3cm) and leaves are limp and collapse out of water -consistent with the biological characteristics of Eurasian watermilfoil (see Photo 1 & 2). Orchard Lake will be added to the Designated Infested Waters list as infested with Eurasian watermilfoil. |
