I moved to New York, about 30 years ago, and stopped seeing it.
Until a couple of years ago. A house in our neighborhood had a backyard covered in it. Not sure if it was deliberately planted.
I reported it to the DEC, and it seems to be gone, now.
A parallel to that is the incredible research and work done by SUNY ESF. They've almost brought back the American Chestnut!
