This stuff is extremely invasive. I've literally spent years removing it from a small portion of my 9 acre property using mechanical means and at least 50 gallons of 2,4-D herbicide with no hope of completely eliminating it. Deer won't eat it and being a perennial will grow to a 3 ft. shrub producing thousands of seeds which attach to animals, pant legs, and shoes. Many properties in this part of Arizona are covered with it. An invasive weed.
