Re: Chicago Bans Invasive Plants

If someone wants to slow down vitality of sugar maples they should consider what we have in Massachusetts.? The winter moth!

People INTENTIONALLY plant Japanese hops?! For me it is a vicious weed. If 
you go to pull it out, I'd recommend wearing motorcycle leathers.

I would be tempted to add sugar maples to the list. I have weeded out 
thousands of them but my neighbors haven't. So there is a rapidly growing 
grove on the east side of my garden, robbing it of that precious morning 
sun.
