To obtain information on the Giant Hogweed I was required to do some research. I will be reviewing information on Giant Hogweed in Canada as an invasive species. This information came from ‘The Biology of Invasive Alien Plants in Canada. 4. Heracleum mantegazzianum,” Sommier and Levier. It reviews on how it takes over including its effects on the environment and human health. It also speaks on the identification and nature of the plant, as well as give possible management options, etc.
This is an academic, peer-reviewed material. https://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/pdf/10.4141/P05-158
In the last 3 pages of their review is a long list of sources sited in the text. They do not run their own tests, but rather review many others.
