The Trouble With Tumbleweed



CGP Grey can make the most esoteric subject interesting, because he brings us a slew of information we didn't know, and didn't know we need to know. But we do. So what do you know about tumbleweeds? They aren't just an Old West thing; Tumbleweeds are an invasive species native to Russia that caused problems for settlers and still cause problems for modern civilization.

  1. Growing up in treeless west Texas, we would flock and decorate one for Christmas each year.

  2. Funny, I grew up seeing "Russian Thistle" on every list of invasive weeds I ever saw. No one ever told me that they were tumbleweeds.
