Expansion of Transplanted Giant Bulrush in Central Florida Lakes

Giant bulrush (Scirpus californicus) proved to be an excellent aquatic plant for transplanting into lakes. Bulrush has a desirable growth pattern and acts as a natural congregating area for freshwater sportfish. Growth densities allow good angler utilization. Consistent survival and rapid growth response after transplanting was documented in all study lakes.
