Some seemingly beautiful plants are real monsters at heart, which compete for space, water and food with other crops, spread to neighboring areas, and destroy foundations and buildings.

If you want your garden to remain a healthy and cozy place for a long time, avoid having ornamental trees from this list in it.

They are invasive crops, the consequences of planting which can be disastrous.

Calleri Pear

A tree with beautiful white flowers can often be seen in public gardens, but it is better not to plant it in your own garden - it spreads almost at the speed of the wind, and all thanks to the huge number of seeds carried by birds.

The Calleri pear also takes away space and resources from native plants.

Ailanthus altissima

This tree grows at a staggering rate, eventually reaching a height of 60 meters. Aggressive roots and a large number of seeds make it an excellent invader of territory, easily displacing other species.

The list of disadvantages does not end there: ailanthus is famous for its ability to release toxins into the soil, which inhibit the growth of other crops.

Sea buckthorn

Colorful fruits and a generally decorative appearance make this plant attractive to summer residents, but if you plant it in your garden, soon only oleaster will grow in it.

The tree's seeds are carried by birds, which is why it begins to fill fields, forests and other green areas without any control. There is no room for other plants - and who would want to grow on depleted soil, all the nutrients from which this olive tree has taken for itself?
