Default Red-tipped photinia question

The problem is not the plant, it's the people who plant it. It's a horrible
thing to introduce that to this area.

I've planted Kudzu and am looking forward to the full coverage it provides.I'm
putting up some lines(cables) for it to spread and make an shade arbor over a
large area by the pool. I'm well aware of it's proclivity for growth... other
than that, what's the problem with Kudzu?

Photinia is a non-native invasive species just as bad as Kudzu. Thank
heavens the red-tipped variety gets disease. The Chinese variety doesn't
and is a huge problem in areas that are trying to maintain native habitat.

Ligustrum and Nandina are also in the same category.

Find something else to plant.... Evergreen Sumac or Texas Mountain
Laurel maybe?? The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is having their
spring plant sale soon.
