weed trees
Unwanted fast spreaders
Weed trees are fast-growing, often invasive tree species that spread aggressively and crowd out more desirable plants.
Like weeds in a garden, they're unwanted—prone to weak wood, prolific seeding, and difficult removal.
Tree of heaven, black locust, and box elder are common examples.
The backyard was overrun with weed trees when we moved in.
