Monitoring should occur at least two times during the growing season, ideally in <br />early summer (May/June) and later summer (late-July/August). Spacing monitoring throughout the growing season will <br />capture the different blooming times of different plant species. Conduct monitoring along trails, roadsides, and <br />disturbed areas such as recent canopy openings and areas recovering from fire, as these are the most likely areas of new <br />infestations.
