Kuzdu vine, Chinese parasol tree, and a bunch of others got here because there was an Orientalist fad in the late 19th century and Southerners thought it would be very romantic to sit on a veranda sipping tea while the kuzdu vines were in bloom and pretend they were in a Chinese tea house or something.

Nothing personal kid
They planted kudzu everywhere to control erosion
t. exhibit I saw in the Alabama Department of Archives and History
That's the one that burns you 10x worse than poison ivy, right?
The sap is phototoxic. So you can't just cut them down and you might have sap on you without knowing then get in the sun and itll burn terribly.
Himalayan balsam.
anacondas
Next to Ailanthus, this is every Northeastern's most unfavorite tree.
Looks a good idea.
I could search of google a picture of a black man and post here, but this kind of cheap racist joke is not funny anymore.
pffffttt....
ah, a fellow intellectual I see.
Fuck that bastard bug!
Empress Tree
Best state in the union though
>decimates an entire species of tree and turns mild swamps into permanent bogs
Heh, nothin personnel kid.
People be dumb and planted way too many of the same tree in a monoculture.
I've sene a lot of declining ashes in my area, but it's not necessarily those things since ash has a lot of diseases it can get.
that stuff is everywhere in the South. It's nuts.
t. lives there
That is pretty fucking insane. A tree that has perfected the art of self defense.
north american grey squirrel
Its larger than the native red squirrel and kills them.
it was brought here as a gift to an aristocrat and but got free.
*ahem*
Fuck Stilt Grass
Fuck Multifloral Rose
and Fuck Garlic Mustard
I hate those things so much.
The wh*te man
>and Fuck Garlic Mustard
Is edible though. But it does contain some cynaide. Avoid eating first year plants and instead pick the second year (ie. flowering) ones which have less of it and will taste better. It basically tastes mustardy.
where are the ashes still healthy?
Africans, essentially.
beavers that were introduced by canadian pelters in the early 20th century and are currently destroying patagonian forests because they have no predators to keep them in check
It was brought over as a herb I believe. Oh yeah, fuck Ailanthus too
These fucking things. If they grow too tall they collapse.
they're even worse than Russian Olive
can you die from eating too much cyanide or it is a meme?
*posts le black man xDDDDD*
Also worse birds eat the fruit and spread around the seeds which turn back into the species form, a thorny shrub that forms impenetrable thickets. Bradford Pear anyway blooms only one week or something and the flowers don't even smell nice.
and they smell like cum
If you ate a shitton of it, you might, although since cyanide is an organic compound, the body is fairly effective at disposing of it.
Wineberries although at least you can eat the fruit.
I love whiteman. Should be imported more here
The Minnesota winter blew up a lot of these.
They were killing our pine trees.

A lot of Chinese plants are aggressively invasive in the Eastern US as the climate is similar to China's.
GREY SQVIRRELS are taking over, what you going to do about it?
Europe has less overall diversity of flora than the US or East Asia due to the Ice Age. The barrier of the Pyrenees and Alps prevented many plants from retreating southward so stuff that wasn't frost-tolerant died off. So, no hickories, walnuts, and a whole host of other genres. The genres that survived suffered a major loss of diversity as well.
Intwesting.
Hate this stuff.
Akshuallly it is the secondary host for the rust that is kiiling your pine treees
stinkbugs
FUCK those things holy shit
Wooly hemlock adelgid. Interestingly enough, it can only reproduce asexually as full sexual reproduction requires a Chinese pine species that isn't present in North America.
These cunts. They drive other birds fro their nests, gang up on other birds, eat garbage and breed like rats. I shoot them with a pellet gun at every opportunity.

Latrinos
Chinese tallow tree
they're cute.
I'm sure emerald ash borer is also quite kawaii in China.
shut up.
Regular looking plant that can cause blindness.
A French naturalist first documented it in Beijing in the 1860s. Prior to the infestation it was an obscure insect that little was known about, it didn't even have a common name. USDA officials initially couldn't identify the bug until consulting a beetle expert in Slovakia. I'm not making this up.
this cunt, they are also highly organized
*genera
took this today at my local park. all of it is poison ivy. probably the biggest field of it that you will ever see.
FUCK these smelly assholes, they always nearly ruin my trees every year
Poison ivy is native to the Eastern US, although that still doesn't mean you have to like it.
seems to have gotten as far west as arizona
This cancer rodend that spread in all Europe and US en.m.wikipedia.org
The only stuff that can grow under Norway Maples are (conveniently) fellow European invasives like garlic mustard and English ivy.
Prove they aren't related to the topic.
Burger white neighborhoods are pretty much destroyed by them.
If you're in Italy you probably know these things. They're now widely being sold here as ornamentals though I haven't heard of them becoming invasive. A bean relative, but the seeds and pods are extremely poisonous.
Norway maple's canopy is so dense that it's like nighttime underneath. No light can reach the ground.
Yes, I've seen the around,they leave a yellow-mint-gree stain on the ground when fall after a rainstorm and then dry, unless it's another plant. They are aesthetic if spare and placed in private gardens. Wouldn't say invasive, at least not in my area.
It shouldn't be invasive in Southern Europe which is its natural habitat.
Norway maple is adapted for a climate with a long, mild autumn, otherwise its leaves won't develop their trademark yellow color. Although given its natural range, I don't see how that's supposed to work because it extends well into Russia where winter is...cold?
In SE Pennsylvania they do develop their yellow fall colors and the leaves don't drop until mid-November. In colder areas though they're likely to freeze before that happens.
>post invasive species in your cunt
>all those american flags
I didn't even know that, assumed it because the aren't that greatly spread in here, didn't expect them to be invasive or aggressive at all.
A lot of red maples were planted in Washington DC as street trees in the 50s-60s after Dutch Elm Disease btfo all the American elms. Most of those have been removed now as they succumbed to the stresses of an urban environment and replaced by new red maples. The curious part is that the old ones usually turned yellow in the fall while the new ones are always red. I thought it must have had to do with geographical/climate reasons, but maybe the newer red maples are bred from cultivars designed to reliably turn red.
I know that, don't be pedantic. They were killing our pine trees.
>Laburnum anagyroides, the common laburnum, golden chain or golden rain, is a species in the subfamily Faboideae, and genus Laburnum. Laburnum alpinum is closely related. It is native to Central and Southern Europe.
>The plant grows and flowers in damp and mild habitats, especially in the calcareous soils of Southern Europe.
>Indian, Chinese, Siamese, Dutch and Japanese rape baby
>Lol Amerimutts
This motherfucker.
You heard about how Sweden had record wildfires last summer? All caused by the idiots planting massive timber plantations (70% of Sweden's forests are timber plantations) which are much drier than a natural forest.
Many of these are cultivars produced to all have that lollipop look.
Naturally grown ones almost look like a completely different species altogether.
Come to my town and I'll show you just how invasive this thing is, buddy.
remember to not spread them.
That's how emerald ash borer gets spread--carrying infected firewood. By themselves the bugs can't move very far as they aren't exactly fast-moving or mobile insects.
I got done ID-ing a shrub today with double red berries and figured it was probably Tartarian honeysuckle, yet another invasive. There's several invasive Asian honeysuckles in the US, none of which have particularly attractive flowers either.
this thing
Wow that's very cute.
Open season on them

Niggers
is their meat edible or are they too chubby? they look like obese raccoons
Black cherry has become invasive in Europe.
That's not why kudzu got to America you retarded fucking yankee.
It was brought here because a bunch of Michiganders thought it'd be a swell idea to let it fight other invasive species.
Chinese chestnut was brought here in the 1890s for orchard production as it was smaller and more manageable than the skyliner-sized American chestnut, except, oops, it had chestnut blight. The tree itself isn't invasive though.
No idea
