Invasive vs. Aggressive
It's common for people to confuse invasive with aggressive. It makes sense: if something is assaulting your landscaping and just taking it right over, It feels like an invasion.
But an invasive plant is a one that's from an entirely different ecosystem. An aggressive plant is one that takes over and outcompetes its neighbors.
This is spotted spurge. It's entirely native, but it's also wildly aggressive, and I want to be able to grow other things. So I'll be putting this into the weed classification and removing it from the landscaping.
