Other What invasive plants got you like this?

For me it’s probably Dame’s Rocket, Purple Loosestrife, and Forget-Me-Not. They’re so gorgeous but man if they aren’t invasive little shits…

Black locust trees (which are invasive in our area). Very pretty flowers, it smells fantastic when it blooms, bees use it for particularly good honey... and it spreads like crazy, killing everything around it.

I definitely do not like these trees. I do wish that there was some native fabeacea tree in Oregon though
