Ageratina adenophora is a perennial herbaceous shrub that may grow to 1 or 2 metres (3.3 or 6.6 ft) high. It has opposite trowel-shaped serrated leaves that are 6–10 cm (2.4–3.9 in) long by 3–6 cm (1.2–2.4 in) in width. The small compound flowers occur in late spring and summer, and are found in clusters at the end of branches. Each flowerhead is up to 0.5 cm in the diameter and creamy white in colour. They are followed by a small brown seed with a white feathery ‘parachute.It is native to Mexico, but it is known in many other parts of the world as an introduced species and often a noxious weed. It has caused great economic loss in agriculture in southwestern China, and is threatening the native biodiversity there. It was first inadvertently introduced to Yunnan around 1940, and its rapid spread is due in part to its allelopathic competition with other plant species.[2] It also a weed in Australia, where it was introduced to Sydney in 1904. It has spread along the coastline of New South Wales and southern Queensland. It is rated a Class 4 Noxious Weed under the NSW Noxious Weeds Act of 1993.Ageratina adenophora has also spread in Hawaii and the mainland USA, where it is recognised as a weed in ten states of the South and Southwest.Elsewhere it is an invasive species in many tropical and subtropical countries, including northeastern India, China, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands, the Canary Islands, and South Africa.The plant can spread vegetatively, that is the stems can sprout roots and grow upon contact with earth. The seed is also carried by the wind or water and colonises disturbed areas, such as fields and areas near human habitation, readily. Seed may also be transported on animals and in soil.Ageratina adenophora is regarded as an environmental weed in many parts of the world. It is on the Federal Noxious Weeds List in the USA and the State Noxious Weeds Lists in Queensland and New South Wales, Australia. A. adenophora is probably one of the worst weeds in China where it is rapidly invading the foothills of the Himalayas – “the Chromolaena of the highlands (Arne. Witt. pers. com). It is also very invasive in South Africa and Zimbabwe.
In Queensland and New South Wales, this species colonises forest margins, stream banks and disturbed areas, preferring shaded wetter areas but also growing in open sunny sites. It also thrives in damp areas such as wetland margins, drainage lines, gullies and in clearings in wetter forests. It grows in large dense clumps and will eventually out-compete all other plants in an area, choking out native vegetation and forming a monoculture.
A. adenophora is also an aggressive weed in pastures in eastern Australia. It prefers wetter pastures (e.g. kikuyu grass pastures on wetter slopes), is usually not eaten by cattle, and can reduce the carrying capacity and productivity of invaded areas.
It is also poisonous to livestock, being particularly toxic to horses. In fact, this species is the cause of an acute pulmonary disease in horses which is known as “Tallebudgera horse disease” in Queensland and “Numinbah horse sickness” in New South Wales. This condition can be fatal if enough of the weed is consumed over a long period.

Here is a typical weekend for Mr Farmer…fixing the tractor, tilling some soil, planting a food plot, and getting ready for fall. The mix of kale, mustard, turnips, wheat and rye with some cowpeas mixed in should bring the big bucks in from all over! Luckily the only problem with the tractor was a hydraulic hose – an easy fix, right? Watch and find out. Running Water Farm

==========================
“The Wild Colonial Boy” is a traditional song from the mid-nineteenth century, with two primary versions (Irish and Australian) and numerous variants of each.
The original version was about Jack Donahue, an Irish rebel who became a convict, then a bushranger, who was eventually shot down by police. This version was outlawed as seditious so the name changed.
The Australian version is quite different from the Irish version that is more commonly heard in the US and Europe. It is about a boy named Jack Doolan, born in Castlemaine. The poem then continues on to tell of his exploits without mentioning his moving to Australia, which implies that the Castlemaine in question is that in Victoria.
The exploits of the legendary Wild Colonial Boy is thought to be something of a composite of historical bushrangers of the era, based primarily on “Bold Jack Donahue”, with snippets of other infamous bushrangers such as Ned Kelly and others. However, there was a historical figure of a juvenile bushranger name Jack Doolan that may have also been a basis for the Australian version of the song. Historical Scholar Allen Mawer has written extensively on the colonial and maritime history of Australia. His pamphlet on “The Life and Legend of Jack Doolan, the Wild Colonial Boy” was published by Mulini Press, Canberra, in March 2004. More historical information about both the famous song, legend of the “Wild Colonial Boy”, and the history of Australian bushrangers can be found at the Australian National Centre for Education at:

============================
Lyrics for a common variant of the Australian version of
“The Wild Colonial Boy”
There was a wild Colonial Boy,
Jack Doolan was his name,
Of poor but honest parents,
He was born in Castlemaine.
He was his father’s only hope
His mother’s pride and joy,
And dearly did his parents love
The Wild Colonial Boy.
At the age of sixteen years
He left his native home,
And to Australia’s sunny shores
A bushranger did roam.
They put him in the iron gang
In the government employ,
But never an iron on earth could hold
The Wild Colonial Boy
(CHORUS)
So come away me hearties
We’ll roam the mountains high,
Together we will plunder
And together we will die.
We’ll scour along the valleys
And we’ll gallop or’er the plains,
And scorn to live in slavery,
Bound down by iron chains.
In sixty-one this daring youth
Commenced his wild career,
With a heart that knew no danger
And no foreman did he fear.
He stuck up the Beechworth mail coach
And robbed Judge MacEvoy
Who, trembling cold, gave up his gold
To the Wild Colonial Boy
He bade the Judge good morning
And he told him to beware,
That he’d never rob a needy man
Or one who acted square,
But a Judge who’d robed a mother
Of her one and only joy
Sure, he must be a worse outlaw than
The Wild Colonial Boy
(CHORUS)
So come away me hearties
We’ll roam the mountains high,
Together we will plunder
And together we will die.
We’ll scour along the valleys
And we’ll gallop or’er the plains,
And scorn to live in slavery,
Bound down by iron chains.
One day as Jack was riding
The mountainside along,
A- listening to the little birds
Their happy laughing song.
Three mounted troopers came along,
Kelly, Davis and Fitzroy
With a warrant for the capture of
The Wild Colonial Boy.
‘Surrender now! Jack Doolan,
For you see it’s three to one;
Surrender in the Queen’s own name,
You are a highwayman.’
Jack drew his pistol from his belt
And waved it like a toy,
‘I’ll fight, but not surrender,’ cried
The Wild Colonial Boy.
He fired at trooper Kelly
And brought him to the ground,
And in return from Davis,
Received a mortal wound,
All shattered through the jaws he lay
Still firing at Fitzroy,
And that’s the way they captured him,
The Wild Colonial Boy.
(CHORUS)
So come away me hearties
We’ll roam the mountains high,
Together we will plunder
And together we will die.
We’ll scour along the valleys
And we’ll gallop or’er the plains,
And scorn to live in slavery,
Bound down by iron chains.
