Yes, Ailanthus altissima, the tree of heaven (honestly, who thought up
that name?) is definitely a "must." Possibly tree-tobacco (Nicotiana
glauca) and prickly pear cactus could be added. The latter would
compliment the texture of the pampas grass.
I've been looking through everyone's suggestions and almost feel inspired
to plant up the World's Worst Garden. We have such a magnificent list of
obnoxius weeds. Of course, it would be a very ambitious project. Maybe it
could be enacted on a small oceanic island, so we could study how all the
plants interracted and future generations could see what was left (which
plant would win?)
