I would imagine they might also have planted it at all their designs... which makes it a historically significant cultural landscape planting with observed invasive tendencies if abandoned (i.e. forgotten and allowed to sucker down). Easily removed. It was suckering at the location I surveyed. I'd be interested to know if it is spreading viably by seed. <br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div class="ydpbc55c4bcsignature"><div style="font-size:medium;"><div>Melissa A.

There are 2 patches of five-fingered aralia on the slope between the walkway in the Dell and Charles Street, maybe half a dozen plants each. It is virtually certain that they were planted, and it is possible the patches are slowly spreading. The Dell (which is a different park from “Wyman Park”) was designed by the Olmsted Brothers over 100 years ago and has been maintained as a planted landscape ever since, with varying levels of maintenance and replanting. It is not a natural area, nor does it abut a natural area. While eradication of these plants might be wise, there is a certain irony in removing them from an active infestation of porcelainberry, tree-of-heaven, etc.<div class="ydp891151afyiv2551578871"><br class="ydp891151afyiv2551578871" clear="none"></div><div class="ydp891151afyiv2551578871">Kirsten</div><div class="ydp891151afyiv2551578871"><br class="ydp891151afyiv2551578871" clear="none"><div class="ydp891151afyiv2551578871">
