He planted this tree yesterday and to my dismay about the pricing, I was researching online and came across this blog... Thank you! He will remove it on Sunday. Now, I'm worried that although this 10ft tree is only 5days old (before being removed on Sunday) in my backyard it will ruin my landscaping. It's next to my pool... I'm wondering if it's gonna do any damage... ugh! Just got off the phone w/ my landscaper after finding out the tree he planted and after coming across the website.

I tried burning them out i tried pulling them out i tried chemicals. They create a dense mat of tangled mess. Witch is very bad. They have the possibility to completely engulf Florida.

This is the kind of thing that creates "burn-like scar markings" on your skin. The poison will stay underneath your skin until you scrub it away with q-tips, alcohol, and Caladryl. Note that Hydrocortisone did nothing to this burn type rash... in fact it did not work for me. Caladryl with Calamine is the only thing that works. I put it on 4 times during the night to stop the itch. The Calamine is great for capturing the ooze from the skin also. This plant should be banned from the United States.

Take a piece to your local country extension office for help in identification. They can help you with proper methods of eradication. Edward, if you got a rash, I would not burn this plant.
