Exactly. About 50 years ago the state of Illinois in all of its infinite wisdom, air dropped Multaflora rose seeds all over the place. They told all of the farmers that it was going to be great, it was a natural fence...a regular "we're from the government and we're here to help you' moment.

Didn't work quite as they planned. The chit grew alright, but it can't be controlled. It is nearly impossible to kill, actually reaches out and grabs you as you go by(this might be a slight exaggeration but it's sure as hell seems like that's the case) and now the government is coming around in some areas and ordering land owners to remove the plant (at the landowners expense of course) as it is now classified as a noxious weed.

Gotta love the gov...

For another horrific plant look up Japanese Knotweed.
