Re: invasives

They weren't much of a problem here except in irrigated landscapes until a couple of years ago when we had all of those hurricanes. That seemed to get them started, and I've been pulling them ever since. 
Since you had a good bit of rain after your drought, keep an eye out.

I never knew.  They may not do it here, less moisture available.

see
whether that cross is sterile. (Hope so) Most are just crappy seedlings.

They seem to need moisture to germinate well, but once they've got a bit
of
wood, they're extremely drought tolerant, as is 'Natchez'.
