@SatyrService I'm honestly not sure. I'm thinking they got into a shipment of some sort of seeds or something and got over here that way.

@Tumbleweed Tumbleweeds, specifically the Russian thistle (Salsola tragus), arrived in the United States in the 1870s, likely brought in with imported flax seeds. They quickly spread across the western U.S. and Canada within just a couple of decades
