Juncus effusus is not aggressive. You see the plant will proliferate only if 
conditions meet its
needs. It can tolerate very sour ground that most other plants cannot and 
also where their seeds
will not germinate. Another point showing this person does not know this 
plant.

Willows that are used in natural fencing can be grown but not with 
blueberries and certainly not
in a situation where you want to harvest food. You can make a living fence 
out of them and some
are better than others for this. So google live fences to find the best 
species and or cultivars.
Also plant on giving some distance from the food stuff or your going to have 
willow everywhere in
no time. Invasive applies to this plant rather than to Juncus e. and I. 
psuedoacorus which are
only successful under very prescribed circumstances. 

They need to spend some years in the field before parroting what other arm 
chair 'botanists' are
proposing. Pass the chips?
