Well the coastal areas of the S.E. are now getting their turn. Not exact same species but same environmental requirements, growth patterns and more cold hardy. Have planted several colonies which are starting to spread like wildfire, and deer resistant too.
I think they are gorgeous plants but of course the native plant nazi's will attack out of shear ethics.
Then also in the nearby "Hood" we have many vacant lots from old removed gas stations and grocery stores as below.
The old pavement is cracking from weather so three plants do real well at covering these unsightly areas and making almost a tropical look. Black Locust, Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus) and Paper Mulberry (Broussonettia). Their roots break up the concrete and sprout through any crack they can find. Few trees can make a forest from an old parking lot.
This prevents access to the lots to dump old water heaters, couches, etc or just using the lots as a hangout to blast loud hip hop and maybe transact a drug deal or two.
