Misti: Oh Im glad I looked that up! I have some in my yard.
http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/nod.... Its an invasive and I think its the same as the locals call "popcorn tree". I plan to put mine in a new hugelkulture I am starting from small invasive trees I am cutting this fall. It doesn't seem to be poisonous--just invasive. I think making it into soil would be a good use for it.
Mine has an elephant-gray trunk about 8 to 9 inches that I was thinking about making into edging.
