Do you believe wisteria, rose of sharon and mulberry are basically weeds?

I have had to dig these up whenever I see signs of them in my lawn, and usually near the border. Once I had to chop down a mulberry tree which I allowed to grow near my border with my neighbor. What a chore!





Each of these are beautiful, and I found out you can eat mulberies and even rose of sharon flowers.





I have only one rose of sharon, and it makes little seedlings every year that I could reroot and take to New York City and sell them on the corner for a few bucks.





People up there buy anything...all I need to do is set up shop near them guys with sqeegees who wipe your windshields.





They think wisteria is precious, and if you see one near somebody's brick attached home, people go "OOH and AAH"!





While being raised there, we had a rose of sharon in front of the house...attracted bees all summer long, but was beautiful.





I found out it's really a type of hibiscus.





What do you think?

You don't have to go to New York to buy weeds. They are for sale everywhere I look. Almost every weed in my yard is for sale locally. I haven't seen golden rod yet but it will probably be for sale soon. Some of the plants others call weeds that grow in my yard look very nice %26amp; I would not try to get rid of them but might even try to start in other places.





Wisteria Sales for $100 here. I like it %26amp; would like to have it but I'm not paying $100 for it. If you like you can send me a start of it while your weeding.





My new neighbor from NJ just bought a vine of Honey Suckle for $35 %26amp; it is a weed that grows all over his %26amp; my property. I told him this right before spring kicked in but not knowing what it looked like he went %26amp; bought it. When I showed him where it was already growing he used a weed eater on it.





People never stop amazing me.





Most people think a female Asparagus is a weed but I would like it so it can reseed itself %26amp; I don’t have to buy crowns that are normally rotted when I get them.
Reply:I guess if you don't want a plant, it's a weed.. to me, all of the aforementioned plants are good, ornamental plants. Mulberries are nice trees, but the birds eat the fruit and inevitably bomb my car.. but the tree itself has a nice form and is a source of food for wildlife.





in summation.. my answer is no.. they're not..





Dandelions and pigweed.. yes. rose of sharon, no.
Reply:Since a weed is just a wild plant that some consider a nuisance, then, for you, the answer is yes. I happen to like these but, on the other hand, I don't have any of them. Maybe, I would change my mind if wisteria was eating my house.
Reply:I think you don't like New Yorkers!
Reply:There's no such thing a 'weed' there are just unwanted plants if you want to keep them enjoy the taste of the fruit and flowers then keep. As for stuff growing on your neighbours boarder maybe he should cut it down - or maybe you could move it away.
