Introduced 1900; people are going for it more now in the never-ending search for easy, evergreen plantings. First time I saw it (about 8 years ago), it wasn’t on any of my lists of invasives, & I identified it using Dirr’s Manual of Woody Landscape Plants.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Margaret Chatham</div><div class="">Northern Virginia<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Apr 7, 2019, at 6:29 PM, Muth, Norris (MUTH) <<a href="mailto:MUTH@juniata.edu" class="">MUTH@juniata.edu</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-family: Optima;" class="">Looks like there are a few more records on iNaturalist (I didn’t check them to see if the verifications were accurate).
