The neighbor behind me where I lived previously had four of those gross
mutant things planted right up against my 6' stockade fence... never pruned,
they got like 12' tall and overhung into my yard, dropping tons of those
awful seeds that did their best to ruin my lawn, and all my flower beds on
my side of my fence. After five years of pleading very nicely for him to
prune one day I had enough of his spite work (I put the stockade fence up
because the miserable creep would start up like four really old lawn mowers
and just let them run unattended so it was two noisy to sit outdoors). It
was early spring and those monsters were just ready to bud out when I
GLEEFULLY gave them a good shower of Round Up... put an end to the whole
miserable affair. He never ran his lawn mowers again.
