Excellent post Tony. Here in Florida there is a tendency to over react on
exotics. The Florida Exotic Plant Council puts out a list of invasive
plants. This is a good thing but the list does not specify where the plants
are invasive. Here in Central Florida our zone 9 climate is a mixing ground
of temperate and tropical plants. There are plants that are invasive in
south Florida that grow up here but are behaved, things such as Bischofia,
Melaleuca, Bauhinia, Eugenia, Schefflera, and Ficus. Same with some hardy
plants like Nandina or Ardisia, invasive in northern Florida but behaved in
this area.
