eradication of nonindigenous plants cost Florida over $200,000 in 1993. In 50 years the Brazilian pepper has taken over thousands of hectares once dominated by native plants. It has imposed a threat to animal species such as the white-tailed deer and gopher tortoise, and even alters the ecosystem. Various methods are being investigated to overtake this spreading plant.
