I have been doing a lot of clearing out in overgrown areas. A friend heats a portion of her commercial GH (since the nursery went belly up with the economy) with wood. The larger stuff I'm saving for her for that purpose....but she said she would like the smaller stuff for her chipper to chip and use as mulch. I've been saving, but now I'm wondering will the youpon once chipped for mulch sprout and grow??? I sure don't want to cause her any problems in her gardens. I'm keeping some as the wildlife enjoy the berries, BUT it has absolutely TAKEN OVER.
