Can edible mustard greens, that are growing in our community garden, become invasive? When they bolt, they look just like mustard greens that farmers try to keep out of their farm fields.
Hennepin County Minnesota
Expert Response
Bolting can affect the taste and texture of edible mustard greens, but it does not transform them into a different plant species like weed mustard, and it does not make them invasive.
Thank you for your timely and helpful response.
