For the record, I definitely don't grow it deliberatey. (Didn't plant the silver maple either, but that's another story ;o)

Comments on a plant's merits (or lack thereof) are welcome within the PlantFiles entry (link is above the photo ;o)

I have been trying to get rid of this terrible WEED since I have lived in my home. From a distance it looks like you have grass, but close up you know it takes over.
If anyone knows of a natural way (I have a puppy) to rid my yard of this monster, please let me know!
