You are brave! Our old neighbour had it in his garden and in a year it covered the whole garden, ate two mature trees and pushed into all our gardens. We would have to cut it back every week from our garden as he left it completely. App its related to Japanese Knotweed but not illegal. I think it should be. It was the bane of my existence!!!
Back when I didn't know much about these things I planted one to cover an old shed. Unfortunately it didn't recognise where my boundary was and the neighbours were cursing me for years for the massive invasion into their garden. It grow so fast that you can practically see it growing!
They have one next door, it's taken over the far fence, up into the trees and is trying to cover the old folks home next door, I'm just thankful it's not on my side. Iv'e noticed it taking over whole roadside hedgerows in the wild, it can be a real menace.
I had one once, in a garden where the water table easily reached four inches below the soil surface after a wet summer. It certainly finished off the Russian Vine for me.
That was the problem of living in an area where the word "clay" is part of the address. Now I live very near a place with "Sand" in the title.
