Knowing it
The large shrub that greens up first and drops last, with hollow stems and red berries, crowding out everything under the trees in woodlots and parks across Missouri.
What a tree company sees
Not a structural hazard but the main understory removal job in the state. Cut and treat stumps; it resprouts otherwise.
