European white birch will do the same thing to a lawn. Had one at my
other house and ended up having to cut it down. What a pity as it was
such a pretty tree.
Always learning from experience. Planted 3 Rhus Typhina (staghorn sumac)
trees....man they sucker like crazy as far as 20 feet away. The fall
color is gorgeous though and the burgundy red cones went so nicely with
my burgundy valances.
For some strange reason the 1st in line of the sumacs did not produce
one leaf this spring....ended up having to take it down as well.
