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?

You have just described Buddleia.
It's a nuisance in urban areas because its wind-blown seeds take root
on roofs and gutters It pops up in the most awkward places.

Well, not really. It's not a high threat, and doesn't cause any
more trouble (in the UK!) than a lot of other plants. Yes, it's
widespread and a bit of a nuisance in places, but nothing unusual.
Birch can be as bad, for example.
