Thunbergia: Invasive Weeds in the Wet Tropics

Thunbergia vine, commonly known as blue thunbergia, is a fast-growing vine native to tropical regions like India. It was introduced into the Wet Tropics as a garden plant for its striking trumpet-shaped flowers but has become a highly invasive weed. Thunbergia poses a significant threat to environmental areas as well as domestic gardens. It smothers vegetation and trees by climbing and forming dense vine towers. This can lead to the collapse of mature trees and infrastructure due to its weight. In this video, you will learn the characteristics of Thunbergia vine, how to identify it and what to do about it, including control measures.
