Well, the first one takes about four square feet. After that they spread into a thicket and will take over. I don't really know if they spread by root or just by seed, but they will spread. I have one in my yard that I am managing to keep looking like a tree, at least for now. The main problem with them is that it's hard to get enough berries to do anything with unless you have a thicket. Finding a wild stand is the best thing.

whats there now.. how about pix.. whats your soil type.. drainage.. whats your zone.. does your ground freeze .. why did you leave out all the plant forums.. are you interesting in conifers.. shrubs.. trees... perennials.. annuals.. etc ...

Can you see any of the "issues" from standing 6' back, in normal, non glancing light? If so, then they are complete non issues. Are there humps due to a crowned stud in the framing stage? Not your painters fault . Same iwht a bad taping job from your drywallers. You cannot ask a painter to fix the issues caused by prior trades. They are there to fix the drips, runs, flashing, etc. that you can see at 6'>

You're welcome! Moses.
