In California, we have Tumbleweed, and it’s actually really useful for stabilizing/fertilizing loose, disturbed soils and making shelter for native grasses and plants to start growing near. They also love to fuck with cars by jumping out in front of them at every opportunity.

In California they are a danger to the environment. They can spread fires quicker and spread it to different areas. No bueno.

  The California Invasive Plant Council found that Tumbleweeds had no meaningful impact on wildfire risk one way or the other.

    While waving a flaming Deku stick around probably isn’t safe I don’t think you can blame California’s wildfires on a pointy-eared kid with a floppy hat.
