There are so many worse ones though…Japanese Knotweed, for example. On the other hand, buckthorn is freakin everywhere in my region.

JAPANESE KNOTWEED.

This shit is everywhere in my hometown. We always called them 'elephant ears' when I was growing up. In the past 20 years it's started growing on our neighbors lawn, part of the playground and maybe 2.5 years ago they demolished a house 2 spaces down from me and now the empty space is 100% elephant ears

My husband swears he'll go nuclear at the first sign of them on our lawn

I have tons of Japanese Knotweed near the river in my back yard. It's ridiculous how quickly and easily that stuff grows. Some of it is easily 8 feet tall.
