The most recent example of plant colonization (albeit man-forced) is the Kudzu plant.

Originally brought in to help control soil erosion, the plant took to the task ardently.

Hardly a state road or country road in my state you can’t see it. It is a bitch to get rid of.

I have been working for years on a Kudzu/cannabis hybrid.
Still have a few bugs to work out yet.

You reminded me of iceplant along California’s freeways, that, it turns out, actually benefit from the car exhaust that blankets them.

I love to garden but do not have a green thumb. Should I try kudzu?

I even planted an invasive bamboo in my yard, and it has failed at invading thus far.
