 Noxious Weed IVM Guide - Canada Thistle
Canada thistle, Cirsium arvense, is a perennial plant with horizontal, branching roots and usually occurs as a clump of stems.
Canada thistle mainly occurs in clumps, and as the patch ages, the center declines and the more vigorous plants are found nearer the edges.
The roots of Canada thistle act as a huge underground food storage system for the plant and can produce new shoots for about 1 1/2 growing seasons despite repeated mowing or cultivation, which prevents new food from reaching the roots (Hodgson 1968a).
