Wondering about first hand opinions.

I'm in 6B, SW Kentucky, BTW.



Horribly invasive, brittle-wooded species. And then there's the 11

It would probably be more fun and less trouble to take up a hobby like
bailing out the ocean with a teaspoon than dealing with all the seedlings.
Or rolling naked in poison ivy.

Sounds almost as fun as Kudzu..
