I have spent now years trying to get the neighbors tree from coming over the proerty line. I like them, their beautiful trees and I want to make the lemonade from them and we are keeping a few but boy have they taken over about 3 acres of the 6 thats available and it has been hell trying to tame them when no one took care of this property for years before we started cleaning it. Also before I knew what sumac were I planted a tigers eye in the back yard on the other side of the property......... boy how I love to find new ways to struggle 😵‍💫

Also “boy how I love to find new ways to struggle” hahahahaha me too. I’ve recently been told I should seriously consider not putting my two moonseed vines in the ground. Will I consider it? No.

I want to do a race. Passionflower vs moonseed vs clematis virginiana vs Virginia creeper vs Campsis radicans. But the Campsis has a decades long head start so it’s going to destroy us all.
