Here in my area (New Jersey) it is also listed among the most invasive
species and the farmers around here do not like them at all.
Another thing I should mention, they do not fruit if they are cut down every
year. So keep that in mind if you want to grow them for food.
I let one of them grow up last year as a nurse plant for a persimmon tree I
planted next to it, so I'll see how long it takes for the shrub to bear.
