Omggg. I want this in my yard so bad but it’s highly invasive. Imagine lining your property with this as a sort of privacy wall.

I know😭 so so sad they are super invasive in the eastern states. Thinking of some alternatives to get the same look

My neighbor has climbing ivy up the side of their house it is so pretty! I am in CO so I am not sure if it would work the same where you live

If you want a similar leaf habit, locusts trees are a good fit. But many species of them have huge thorns and some are invasive in certain areas.

So right! My neighbor has several and they are gorgeous! But I am CONSTANTLY pulling them out of my yards and beds.

wonderful news: we have a similar one that is native in the US! it's called a florida tree fern, Ctenitis Sloanei, and it's fortunately easy to buy despite it being very endangered.

#### Waspinator replied on 2026-10-02

Fun fact: many endangered in the wild plants are intentionally mass-propagated for captive care as a part of conservation efforts. It helps protect the wild populations from poaching

and thank science for it! i love my natives. who could've guessed that plants adapted to your environment are low-maintenance 😆
