Re: Himalayan Balsam - bash or not

I think my only negative thing toward balsam bashing is that you need to make sure the people who do it can tell the difference between Impatiens species. In a local park near me there grows the Touch Me Not Balsam, I. noli-tangeres which is a very rare plant. Unfortunately the Himalayan Balsam is slowly entering the area which this grows. Unfamiliar balsam bashers may pull up the Touch Me Not as Well
