Canada thistle growing in the ditch beside an Indiana road.
In recent travels I have been seeing a lot of Canada thistle along the roads. These are true plant fugitives from the law, because in the State of Indiana it is against the law ('Destruction of Detrimental Plant' IC 15-3-4) to let Canada thistle grow to maturity. Failure to do so, "commits a Class C infraction. Each day this section is violated constitutes a separate infraction"
(IC 15-3-4-5).
For more information on this law or how to control Canada thistle please see links below
