Of course if it does prove to be invasive, I'll remove it but it seems like a lovely tree and hopefully everything will go to plan.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757110538056043095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357482105288753344.post-20198898666743536152011-08-11T22:42:19.430-04:002011-08-11T22:42:19.430-04:00They really are lovely trees; I absolutely adore t...They really are lovely trees; I absolutely adore their flowers. Here in southeastern Michigan they are beginning to pop up increasingly often as foliage plants and I have seen one specimen that regularly flowers and sets seed but even so I agree that in this climate they are unlikely to become invasive as they did in some other places.Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291223943168030684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357482105288753344.post-17247714557472009842011-08-10T19:17:57.198-04:002011-08-10T19:17:57.198-04:00Fortunately I'm on the edge of their hardiness...Fortunately I'm on the edge of their hardiness range. I expect every few years the entire tree will die to the roots, unless I can find a more sheltered area. So HOPEFULLY it won't prove to be a problem. I may even coppice it just to promote the larger foliage.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757110538056043095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357482105288753344.post-31628393276392047852011-08-10T18:24:34.984-04:002011-08-10T18:24:34.984-04:00Watch out; those things are weeds where I grew up....Watch out; those things are weeds where I grew up. If you keep it around long enough though, the flowers are very pretty, and it's overall not a bad-looking tree once it gets past its weed stage.Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11677520515341706045noreply@blogger.com
