Reviewers: Rod Ensbey, Elissa van Oosterhout References It is primarily found in the understorey of drier forests, but has the potential to invade riparian areas, forest margins, open woodlands, urban bushland, coastal environs, roadsides, disturbed sites and waste areas. Ming asparagus fern prefers semi-shaded situations. What type of environment does it grow in? They are produced in large numbers for a short period in summer.īerries are 6-10 mm in diameter, rounded, green at first and turning purple to pinkish-red or with a bluish bloom to black as they mature. They are borne in cluster of 20-30 along the stems the clusters somewhat resemble pom poms.įlowers are small, bisexual (both male and female parts present), white to cream, borne on short stalks and arranged in dense clusters. Leaf-like cladodes (modified stems) are needle-like, hairless, usually slightly curved, 12-25 mm long and about 0.5 mm wide. Older stems are pale grey to whitish and have small spines. The root system consists of relatively short, fleshy, tuberous roots. Ming asparagus fern is a shrubby plant with a fern-like appearance, usually growing 1-2 m tall although it occasionally grows to 3 m. Vegetative spread is primarily by people dumping garden waste. Fruit are also spread by water and dumping garden waste. Fruit set occurs from spring to summer, but fruit can be present year-round.įruit are spread by birds, foxes, reptiles and other animals that can deposit seeds far from the parent plants. Flowering chiefly occurs in spring and early summer. The main growth period is from autumn through to spring, but green foliage is present year-round. Ming asparagus fern primarily reproduces from seed, but can also spread vegetatively from the roots. Record the presence of priority weeds in their council area and provide this to the NSW Department of Primary Industries. These records are made by authorised officers during property inspections under the Biosecurity Act 2015.
It was introduced into Australia as an ornamental plant and was first recorded naturalised in 2001 near Brisbane. Ming asparagus fern is a native of south-eastern Africa. It can attain very large and continuous infestations. It strongly competes with native ground cover and understorey plants by forming dense infestations that can smother, and prevent the germination and establishment of other species. Ming asparagus fern has the potential to invade a wide range of coastal and sub-coastal plant communities from north-east Queensland to eastern South Australia, and south-west Western Australia. This plant should not be sold in parts of NSW This weed belongs to the group Asparagus weeds
