Gosh... I'm lousy with trees. If you could post a picture on the ID forum I bet someone here could identify it for you.

aagghhhhhhhhh!!!!!! poppysue for years I tried to get rid of this weed from my garden to no avail. Then I found the perfect solution. You build a very large conservatory on the top of it!! LOL

Darius, the blue woodruff is an annual. I haven't tried that one yet.

I haven't had too much trouble with it being invasive. Some years a lot of it dies out over the winter. It does spread ... but not too bad.
