Invasives of all kinds (insects, plants, spiders, etc.) are a big factor down here. This is a wild corner of the frond yard with mainly pine, sabals and brazilian pepper, but I like this area. The dog loves to chase lizards and run around through here. Its messy to some, but to me it says PRIVACY! I have done battle with the brazilian pepper, though. First of all, they have a symbiotic relationship with those wicked wicked little ants that have a horrible bite. They are tiny and you never see them until you feel them and you can't so much as trim one branch without getting one on you. So far I've uncovered a mango tree and an ackee tree.
