Because trees tend to grow very slowly, which should mean they should be fairly easy to control. Not to mention the useful wood if any population culling needs to occur.
- Foobar8568 4y agoTypically the Japanese knotweed is considered as highly invasive and a pest in Europe. Almost impossible to get rid off due to its fast growth and deep root system.
- wnevets 4y agoAccording to the internet the Japanese knotweed is not a tree, its a buckwheat. [1] [1] https://nyis.info/invasive_species/japanese-knotweed/ https://nyis.info/invasive_species/japanese-knotweed/

- pixl97 4y agoMany trees grow as fast as weeds in the first few years of their life. A single tree can output thousands to millions of seeds in a year. Something can be easy to control when there's 10 of them and impossible when there's a billion of them. Add to that some tree species can be nearly impossible to kill. Cutting them off at the ground does not work, the roots must also be dug up. Any green braches left on the ground can take root and form a new tree.

I’ve never heard of its wood having any use. While you’re cutting it down, vibration causes its seeds to fall and they sprout later. And you have to burn/poison the stump or else that regrows too.
