I moved into this house 10 years ago, and apparently someone had planted it along a shady area and it took over the whole side of the house and started growing into the house through the teeny cracks in the windows. I have been fighting it for 10 years and it is still a losing battle. Of course, it killed the oak and elm trees, but not the nasty "weed" trees we tend to grow in Louisiana. Once you have it, you've got it for life. It looks nice in some commercial beds I've seen, but they must chop at that stuff two or three times a week to keep it that way. My answer to those considering is "don't, just don't". [Rating]
