If you have an enemy gift them some Houttuynia Cordata and don't warn them about its invasive potential.

In my last garden I had a nectarine tree that I wish I'd never planted. Although it was pretty in the spring for a couple of weeks, it was such a hassle to get any fruit from it. You had to spray with copper sulphate at exactly the right time to prevent leaf curl (or else no fruit) and then if it did bear fruit, I never managed to get them before the rats, possums etc! By the time I realised what its disadvantages were it was too big to remove easily. A citrus tree of some sort would have been a much better bet.
