Yeah - they're a fast growing tree that can survive in the harshest of conditions.

If they're actively managed (hard pruned twice a year), they can be used to regenerate poor soils.

If left unmanaged they dominate the landscape & degrade soil.

In Australia, we just accept that they exist and don't think too much about them. Overseas, they're a revered support plant in Syntropic farming, but otherwise they're mostly hated.
