Evidently nobody here has ever had the pleasure of raking up fricking pine straws 2 times a year. I have 6 big arse pine trees that have also managed to completely screw up my soil in my yard.

I started a thread not long back dedicated to how much pine trees suck

Magnolia trees are pretty bad. Always dropping leaves and seed pods are like twice the size of sweet gum balls.

Magnolias make great trees to climb in, there's one in my parents yard we used to climb as kids.

Sweetgum is awful. I hate those spiky things with a passion.

yea my grandma had a big magnolia in her yard that I remember climbing in as a kid. I remember many fights that my parents had when my dad was drinking and threatening to cut down the magnolias in the yard because of the leaves they would drop

Ornamental cypress is pretty terrible. The tree stays small and ugly while it throws up lawnmower-murdering knees throughout the yard.

Someone said if you had just one Tallow....

There isn't any way to do so, If you have one you have one thousand.

Since most PIA trees are in here already I'll vote for Willow trees as they too are almost unkillable. Any tree where you can cut a limb, stick it in the soil and it will turn into a new tree is a problem for me.

Sorry, but that is simply objectively wrong. I understand what you're saying if one means open property. In a neighborhood, having just one is easy. My neighbor has one, and while I hated it at first, it's my afternoon shade tree and does its job with flying colors.

Pine and cypress. I have multiples of both in my yard. Cypress knees in my backyard and pine needles every where else.

We had 1 in the middle of an otherwise well maintained yard. We didn't really have any problems with additional trees growing. However we were mowing the grass twice a week.

Due to leaf and seed casing litter I would say tallow, gum, and crepe myrtle are all pretty bad. At least magnolia flowers and is evergreen.

Al of my answers have been in a yard context. If we are talking rural, my answers would be very different.

BTW, I have a crepe myrtle under that Tallow, and a river birch very nearby
