Control Clasping-Leaf Pondweed

Clasping-leaf pondweed can be easily identified by its thin, delicate, oval shaped leaves. The leaves are wide and wavy with a broad base that ‘clasps’ the stem. The leave’s edges are smooth and the tip comes to a point. The leaves are typically between 3 and 12 centimeters in length.

Clasping-leaf pondweed can sometimes be confused with curly-leaf pondweed. The easiest way to tell the two species apart is to look at the tips of the leaves. Clasping-leaf tips will come to a point while curly-leaf tips will be blunt and rounded.
