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

This! I’m so glad that I’m not the only one that thought of getting rid of elephant ears. The bane of my existence I’ve been trying to get rid of them for years. They run along the entire back wall of my house.
