Camphor Tree and Lawn Weeds

Question

We have a mature camphor tree in the front yard, which every year drops hundreds of berries into the grass. As a result, my lawn is INFESTED with small camphor seedlings. I used to pull them up by hand, but I can’t keep up and the lawn looks aweful – about half grass and half weed. Any suggestions for dealing with this?

Answer 1

This article on Camphor trees has several suggestions on management of this plant: http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/node/101

(The management section is about 1/3 of the way thru the article.)
