Wow, I did not know this. Alright, I will tolerate slightly more tree-hate. While nevertheless pointing out that I actually don't know ANYONE who has planted one in the last decade- they are literally banned in multiple states.
I will also say that while almost certainly ecologically destabilizing and probably not to be encouraged or cheered, the trees' means of reproductive escape is also kind of cool- they original cultivars are, as I thought I remembered, not able to reproduce with one another. The new, abundant offspring are found in wild places and not next to the original trees because the cultivated trees had to find wild species with which to interbreed ... and eventually, they did! The "invasive" offspring are actually self-created hybrids that can only exist because of extant local trees to breed with. ie, Life Finds a Way.
