It probably is not invasive in your area, and it's quite a nice shrub. A
friend cut several large branches for a spring bouquet, and they all
rooted. She turned them over to me and I gave them out to a number of
people before I found out about the invasive problem. They're not invasive
here in Boise, either, fortunately. But it's a good idea to keep an eye on
them. Margaret L
