Intentional or not, you are deciding that they will have it too. Would you thank your neighbor for planting kudzu?

A very attractive bush but too invasive. Please don't spread invasive plants. Spreads by seeds where I live.

A friend who moved to a new home has two big bushes and many small seedlings or small bushes in her undergrowth. It is very invasive even if you don't notice it in your yard.

It spreads via seeds and although you may not notice it being invasive, seeds from the parent plant can be dispersed miles away by birds. It is grown for its brilliant red fall color, but it is rarely seen. A great alternative for this plant is Aronia arbutifolia. Check it out before buying a burning bush.

I am a little wary of this bush because I live in the woods and don't want to spread an invasive bush around. We have lived here going o...Read Moren 4 years and have never seen any signs of it being invasive, however, I just noticed the fruit this year. It could have been there last year and I didn't notice it. The birds are reported to love these fruits and that is how it is spread. I imagine if we pick the fruits off before the birds eat them, that would help control it? The leaves are just starting to turn and are beautiful.

I WISH the people who built my house 50 years ago had used DWARF instead of huge. These boys are BIG!!! They are planted between the pa...Read Moreved driveway and the house, NO place for seedlings to sprout, and I've never seen one. But we are constantly needing to cut it back, hack it off, butcher it to make way for parked cars, people entering the house, etc. I guess the color is lovely for a short while - it's just starting to turn in September. DO NOT use this for a foundation planting - it may look nice in three years, but in thirteen years it will have taken over the house. We're, sadly, not the types to prune reasonable amounts once a year; we prune drastically every 2 - 3 years, and with this shrub, we're losing.

The berries are eaten by songbirds and the branches are used for cover and nests.

I've seen a few in the wild, but they don't seem invasive in this area. Care should be taken to pull seedlings out of your beds though..
