The roots of privet can reproduce asexually through root suckers. [5] This vegetative reproduction makes privet difficult and costly to control because root fragments left in the soil can sprout and grow new plants. [5] One reason why privet is so invasive in the United States is because it has few native shrub competitors. [11]
It was introduced to New Zealand from Britain as a type of hedge, but became a major blight to farmers as the climate suited its growth better than its native habitat and many of its natural predators were absent.

Chrysopogon zizanioides, commonly known as vetiver and khus, is a perennial bunchgrass of the family Poaceae.. Vetiver is most closely related to Sorghum while sharing many morphological characteristics with other fragrant grasses, such as lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus), citronella (Cymbopogon nardus, C. winterianus), and palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii).
Inoculation with Pisolithus tinctorius has shown to greatly improve the plant's root mass, size, tolerance to drought and nutritional status. [22] [23] In cultivation in the UK, the form A. unedo f. rubra [24] and the cultivar 'Atlantic' [25] have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
