The NDSU Carrington Research Extension Center has a weed arboretum to help the agriculture community with plant identification.

About 60 live weeds are on display in various stages of development. The weeds are grouped by biology, including annual broadleaves and grasses, winter annuals, biennials and perennials. Also, the majority of North Dakota's noxious weeds are in the display.

"This resource is intended for farmers, crop advisers and people managing weeds in yards and gardens," said Greg Endres, NDSU Extension cropping systems specialist at the center.

The arboretum is south of the center's main office building. Individuals can visit the site anytime. Also, tours can be arranged for individuals or groups who would like details on weed identification, biology and control.

As a student-focused, land grant, research university, we serve our citizens.
