    Oh this is one of our well known natives here in Australia. So it's over in the US as well. Prolific seed producer and has become naturalised in regions well outside its natural ranges even in this country. Unfortunately helped by human planting as it does make for a smashing ornamental tree. Posted 4 years ago

      Yes, a lot of people in cities/towns are planting it ornamentally, and it is spreading like wildfire. Highly invasive from what I'm hearing/seeing. The Princess Tree (Paulownia tomentosa) and Privet (Ligustrum vulgare) are others that we are fighting here in the southern US. Posted 4 years ago
