This plant doesn\u2019t set seed in California, and spreads entirely by sending out roots and forming little bulbils (like tiny potatoes) underground.&nbsp;<strong>It\u2019s usually found where the soil has been disturbed<\/strong>&nbsp;by activities such as road-building, gardening, or trail-building. In some cases, the disturbance come from landslides or something similar. It can\u2019t stand frost. If we do nothing,&nbsp; it would tend to die down rather than spreading uncontrollably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In disturbed landscapes, it can spread fast. For this reason it can be a nuisance in gardens. People don\u2019t want to leave their gardens alone for years to let nature take its course with the oxalis, and not every garden design includes brilliant yellow as the dominant color for a few weeks. The only way to eradicate it in the short term is to dig it out carefully every time you see it, and make sure you get most of the bulbils. Or use strong herbicides, which may not work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a natural landscape, though, it\u2019s a different story and here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1) OXALIS IS GOOD FOR BEES AND BUTTERFLIES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oxalis is actually an excellent plant for bees and butterflies.&nbsp; When blooming, it provides \u201ccopious nectar.\u201d In fact, it generously gives away its nectar. Since it doesn\u2019t set seed, it doesn\u2019t benefit from pollinators \u2013 but it\u2019s a food source for&nbsp;<strong>honey bees, bumblebees and butterflies<\/strong>. (You can read a rather technical description of the plant in a 2-page PDF note from UCLA\u2019s Barry A. Prigge and Arthur C. Gibson.:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sfforest.files.wordpress.com\/2023\/03\/oxalis_pes-caprae_ucla_santamonicas.pdf\">oxalis_pes-caprae_ucla_santamonicas<\/a>&nbsp;)<a href=\"https:\/\/sfforest.org\/2015\/05\/11\/five-reasons-its-okay-to-love-oxalis-and-stop-poisoning-it\/honey-bee-in-oxalis\/\"><\/a>Honeybee in oxalis flower<a href=\"https:\/\/sfforest.org\/2015\/05\/11\/five-reasons-its-okay-to-love-oxalis-and-stop-poisoning-it\/bumble-bee-on-oxalis-flower\/\"><\/a>Bumblebee on oxalis flower<a href=\"https:\/\/sfforest.org\/2015\/05\/11\/five-reasons-its-okay-to-love-oxalis-and-stop-poisoning-it\/female-cabbage-white-on-oxalis\/\"><\/a>Butterfly on oxalis flower<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact,<a href=\"http:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/1365-2745.12310\/full\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;a 2014 study&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/a>shows that plant communities with exotic plants had more plant species as well as more pollinators, that pollinators didn\u2019t prefer native plants, and that even some specialist pollinators depended on introduced plant species.

(It doesn\u2019t depend on any other native wildflowers \u2013 only three varieties of lupine.&nbsp; Incidentally, one of the key nectar sources for the Mission Blue butterfly is an invasive non-native Italian thistle:&nbsp;<em>Carduus pycnocephalus<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lupine has been planted on Twin Peaks&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/sutroforest.com\/2015\/02\/05\/mission-blue-butterfly-the-latest-on-twin-peaks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">as NAP attempts to reintroduce the Mission Blue butterfly there.<\/a>&nbsp;But lupine is also a plant of disturbed areas, which means that NAP must maintain it or it will die out as the area stabilizes. They have to keep planting it, weeding, and trimming the grass around the lupine patches to make it attractive to the butterfly. An SFRPD report on the reintroduction project said \u201cunmanaged habitat deteriorates quickly.\u201d Presumably, they don\u2019t use pesticides near the lupine patches, since it would likely kill that too. Despite what is implied in the Bay Nature article, it\u2019s not oxalis that\u2019s the issue. The&nbsp;<strong>real problem is another native plant,<\/strong>&nbsp;the coyote bush which takes over grasslands in a natural succession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) OXALIS IS GOOD FOR WILDLIFE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oxalis bulbils are a food source for wildlife. Gophers and other rodents eat them. In fact, the Bay Nature article says, \u201cTheir spread is abetted by pocket gophers and scrub jays, which have been spotted carrying the bulbs and caching them in the ground\u2014effectively planting them in new areas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since gophers are a foundation species in the food web, being dinner for predators from hawks to coyotes to great blue herons, these plants actually provide habitat benefits whether or not they\u2019re flowering, because the bulbils are there all year.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sfforest.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/05\/gopher-twin-peaks.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sfforest.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/05\/gopher-twin-peaks.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"gopher-twin-peaks\" class=\"wp-image-4669\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Where there are gophers, the predators follow.

Like in the picture above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, oxalis tends to enrich the soil with phosphorus, which is good for grass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So when it finishes blooming, as it has by now \u2013 you don\u2019t get bare ground. The picture below shows the same area as the first picture in this article \u2013 but it\u2019s after the oxalis bloom is over.

However, grasslands in most of California including San Francisco are dominated non-native grasses. The change occurred over 100 years ago, when these grasses were planted for pasture. So the grassland that NRD is defending with herbicides are primarily non-native anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sfforest.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/05\/oxalis-and-california-poppies-sm.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sfforest.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/05\/oxalis-and-california-poppies-sm.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"oxalis and california poppies sm\" class=\"wp-image-4733\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>But anyway, what\u2019s the evidence that oxalis is actually damaging native plants?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s true some European studies do suggest that an increase in oxalis is associated with a decrease in native plants diversity -though whether it\u2019s a cause is unclear. It may just be benefiting from human activities that disrupt the landscape. Another&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/aob.oxfordjournals.org\/content\/99\/4\/637.short\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">study&nbsp;<\/a>put oxalis head-to-head with a native annual grass, lolium rigidum. The native grass tended to dominate. Their conclusion: \u201c<strong>Oxalis is a poor competitor. This is consistent with the preferential distribution of&nbsp;<em>Oxalis<\/em>&nbsp;in disturbed areas such as ruderal habitats, and might explain its low influence on the cover of native species in invaded sites.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The California Invasive Plant Council rates its&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cal-ipc.org\/paf\/site\/paf\/394\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">invasiveness as \u201cmoderate<\/a>,\u201d considering it as somewhat invasive in sand dunes and less so in coastal bluff areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In San Francisco, every place where oxalis grows is&nbsp;<em>already<\/em>&nbsp;a disturbed environment, a mix of non-native grasses and plants with native plants (some of which have been artificially planted).&nbsp; Here,&nbsp; oxalis appears to grow happily with other plants \u2013 including, for instance, the native California poppy in the picture above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5)<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;KIDS LOVE IT&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>AND&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>IT\u2019S EDIBLE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Children love oxalis, both for its pretty flower and for the sour taste of its edible stems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sfforest.org\/2015\/05\/11\/five-reasons-its-okay-to-love-oxalis-and-stop-poisoning-it\/toddler-holding-oxalis\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sfforest.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/05\/toddler-holding-oxalis2.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sfforest.org\/2015\/05\/11\/five-reasons-its-okay-to-love-oxalis-and-stop-poisoning-it\/parent-and-child-with-oxalis\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sfforest.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/05\/parent-and-child-with-oxalis.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Even small children love gathering posies of Bermuda buttercups (though picking flowers is technically prohibited in Natural Areas).
