Depending on where it's planted, you might want to check to see if you're
allergic to this plant first. It's actually listed as a poisonous plant in
the firstaid book I was given recently. I'm allergic to it myself, break out
in a rash that feels a lot like a burn & is incredibly itchy. Needless to
say I keep my two RGs that the previous owner of my house planted next to a
pathway WELL pruned.

Oops, yes, I should have mentioned that they are allergenic. If you ant to
prune one, cover up -- it's contact with the plant that can cause the rash,
and some people only develop the allergy after years of exposure.
