Introduced
from China in the latter part of the 18th century, this tree
is extremely invasive and difficult to control. It features
a spreading, rounded open crown with stout branches and coarse
foliage. Can be found in just about every park, wooded area
and neighborhood in the city. However, it has lost popularity
due to its tendency to clog wells and springs with its toxic
roots and because of the unpleasant odor of its flowers and
bark.
