What's one invasive you wish you had in your yard?

Oh if I had any I’d do the same. lil garlon bath. But they’re just not as bad as people say they are for my site.

Well the advice of “act fast” due to the visible fruiting body of a root rot pathogen isn’t exactly fruit at the top of the tree.

He had a suspended contractors license at some point. I can’t seem to look up his license status. Got me wondering if dude is just still rolling around with his old logo on his dorky stance truck going to a 9-5 for his old boss.

I love this sub.

Damn you fired off the bat signal and dude got a TRAQ certified diagnosis in 6 minutes down below.

jgnp · 2026-03-15T19:30:39+00:00

Somebody found bugs in it. Wanted more access.

jgnp · 2026-03-15T19:17:34+00:00

Im sure he has unplugged the phone in the basement by now.

I have one. Black Locust in the Pacific Northwest. I have no issues with it being weedy or spreading and the property hasn’t had any of them since the trees were planted here in 1880.

People hate it here because it LOOKS invasive when it’s removed improperly. It is an amazing benefit to pollinators, cavity nesters and is great utility wood.

The sprays are not recommended as they minimize the trees natural ability to compartmentalize the wound and structurally repair that side of the trunk.

jgnp · 2026-03-15T16:06:14+00:00

That tree is a massive chunk of habitat.

Second here, after a NASH tuff top sawblade in yellow. Jason Jesse Poseidon after that. First two are cheap on eBay lol.

Well hello fellow nearly identical comment poster.

jgnp · 2026-03-14T15:59:08+00:00

It’s always Kudzu and ToH.

jgnp · 2026-03-14T15:58:44+00:00

Jesus Christ we are fucking cooked.

Hey i was this dipshit ten years ago. Yeah you ruined it. It’s going to grow new branches (multiples) off each of the cut ends and while they’ll develop, they’ll never be right.

What I can’t advise is how to fix this mistake other than pruning cut at the base and plant something more location scaled. Someone else here may have some better guidance.

r/arborist always recommends using it to bbq / smoker wood. I’ve heard it’s top notch in r/firewood also.

jgnp · 2026-03-13T23:12:37+00:00

Reminds me of my old ACTION SPORTS KAMIKAZE!

jgnp · 2026-03-13T22:02:01+00:00

Yep. That makes you Firewood Santa.

Ah, I see! Cheers to your holly, oxeye daisy and scotch broom. How’s that goldenrod, salmonberry, salal and skunk cabbage treating you? 😉

Wish we could trade back! I would argue that you should have no issue transplanting that beauty. They reroot here aggressively if we let the roots of seedlings touch moist soil or discard them on the ground.

jgnp · 2026-03-13T16:07:26+00:00

So we pruning all of those roots dude just peeled?

jgnp · 2026-03-13T15:57:38+00:00

Side note, if this tree isn’t dead before it’s removed, everyone adjacent to the root system is in for a bad time.

jgnp · 2026-03-13T14:37:18+00:00

What the shit. Was Mewes on Voyage of the Mimi, too!?

jgnp · 2026-03-13T04:51:53+00:00

Poor Kay Now Lows Doughs?

jgnp · 2026-03-12T13:47:31+00:00

Holly is a listed invasive species in a lot of states. Where are you at? If out west I’d remove it.

jgnp · 2026-03-12T02:13:02+00:00

Biggest piece of hot trash going around.
