Default Naming a character (a rebel) after a plant

Hi I'm writing a story and am in the process of trying to name my main character. I was hopeing to name them after a plant in someway but i wanted a to choose a plant that suits their character.

so my question was what is a plant/tree that grows in an urban enviorment, is a very high threat to buildings in terms of damage, has very agressive and extensive roots that develop widely before it starts to grow above the surface and is almost impossible to get rid of?

if such a plant exists or something the most simmiler to my description id love to know. even if it doesnt have a very adaptable name such as "japanese knot weed" i can find ways to mix it so that it can become something more like a persons name so I will worry about that.

But yes I'd really appreciate you guys expertees!
thanks for your time,
John
