I've had three burning bush plants for over twenty,years with no problems. Two you didn't mention are red buds and mature trees, which pop up almost evsrywhere. Also black walnuts, which poison the soils for certain other plants and create a hazard when nuts are dropping. Plus the squirrels spread them by burying the nuts.
I agree. I have Sweet Autum Clematis, English Ivy, Wisteria, and Burning Bush. I am fighting a losing battle with all of them.
The only vine I can say that I proudly conquered is Trumpet Vine. It's as bad as the others.
I expected you to include Cutzu. Then I realized it's not one you purchase at a gardening center. It just sneaks in!
