    Uh oh. Has there been a dry spell? Oddly enough, if the opposite has happened- Too much water_ then this can cause leaf drop as well. This article will give you more information on the care of these:

    There are many areas in which these species are non-invasive, and as you stated it is very easy to find this information on line. Any plant can become invasive if put into the proper area, and it would not be feasible to label every plant as invasive. It is up to the individual to inform us of the area in which they reside, so that we can give them proper advice on what to plant, and what not to plant.

    We just, simply, cannot label every plant in the list as invasive. As stated, any plant can become invasive under the right circumstances.

    An example: In my area, Nandina are quite difficult to cultivate, and often do not last long.

    We appreciate your concern.

    One technic for killing invasive trees and vines is to paint herbicide to a freshly cut stump. Use a child's paintbrush or a foam paintbrush. The herbicide is pulled down to the roots. Some authorities recommend concentrated glyphosate (RoundUp) and some recommend a combination of glyphosate and triclopyr (Weed B Gon, Garlon). Ready-to-use herbicide is too dilute. Nandina is now considered invasive in Texas. You are seeing this in real time. https://dcmga.com/north-texas-gardening/shrubs/nandina/

    It looks like a Nandina! There are a few species, most of which are invasive.

    Those flowers will give way to red berries!
