Its pathetic that such an invasive species should take so long to ban when conservationists have proof that they poison and smother native plant species around them. There should be a fast track system to do so.
God have you ever cut one of theese down?
THey stick so horrifically - they really smell so bad. Eugh.
As for the problem the cause? Not as sevear they take years to mature, while everyone ignors the HImalayan balsam marching a mile a year up itno our national parks and buggering up the understory of native woodlands.... Allianthus is no more anoying than sycamore!
I have one in the centre of a communal parking area. It does sucker a bit, but no worse than a Rhus, and as easy to control by chopping the suckers off regularly.
Not a tree to be encouraged, but hardly a huge issue in the UK I'd have thought. I'd never stand in the way of a UK newspaper creating panic about immigrant trees taking over our country, of course..... :-)
