Has anyone yet seen a Buddleia wood in the UK? (I've seen abandoned
factory sites dominated by Buddleia, but not with plants to the size of
the 15 footers in my back garden.)

If there is one, I should be flabberghasted. They get to that size
in good soil, but any of the common trees will then establish a few
seedlings and, within a few years, overtop the buddleia and take over.
It's only in conditions so bad that the others can't hack it that
they actually dominate.
