Rhododendron ponticum is already a huge blight upon the UK's countryside, especially forests. Foresters and conservationists have to spend large amounts of money and time removing this aggressive plant that poisons the soil and out-shades other plants, reducing tree regeneration and biodiversity. Its introduction to unaffected areas, such as private gardens, should not be encouraged.
