Re: Garden Thugs - 3 Biggest

**W*@aol.com**

Tom, I SO agree on those Mulberry tree seedlings -- I feel like every  
bedding edge is being attacked by them and their LONG tap root.

My personal experience nominees are:
- Artemenesia 'Limelight'
- Paulownia tomentosa (Princess Tree)
- Asian Wisteria

Sincerely,

Here in  San Luis Obispo, Ca, I'd vote the three biggest thugs planted as:  1.
Privets...need pruning all the time, grow taller than wanted, are messy  and
allergenic. 2. Myoporum laetum....often used as hedges, but if not  pruned
often, can quickly turn into large, messy trees. 3. Fruitless  mulberry
trees....very fast growing and gets very big, often too big for  small yard,
roots crack sidewalks and foundations, a male clone that in  early spring
releases a huge amount of extremely allergenic  pollen.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Tom
