Don't plant it!!! Kills young trees by strangling them. You can't kill it! Sure it's beautiful for about 2 weeks out the year but the damage they do isn't worth it. The roots will span out causing it to spread to places you don't want it. Destroyed an above ground pool before we were able to kill it. We dug up a root that was 40' long and the size of your leg! Maybe they have genetically re-engineered to not be as aggressive but I'm not taking the chance.
