One of the worst trees you can have on your property.

They ruined much of Texas costal prairie land, including the San Jacinto battleground.

I've never understood the hate. There were two tallows on my lot when I bought it and built our house 37 years ago. Never had a problem with either. Had to cut one down a few years ago when a live oak overshadowed it. There are no trees sprouted from seeds anywhere in the area. Don't think they've ever put on seeds.

The hate is because of what they do to the ecosystem. They are not native trees and will take over an area and choke out the natural ecology.

These are the worst. I have them on my fence and I'm constantly pulling out the sprouts.
