When handling it the wood stinks, too. Since it is a very fast grower, it is difficult to control before it gets large. It grows and spreads rapidly over large areas. It blooms very quickly, allowing for fast spread of a pest whose beautiful blooms disguise this plant's real colors as an invasive weed. I look it it.
Birds carry the seeds and they splat all over the patio and then little plants come up everywhere.
