Question Lantana Camara.

Lantana camara - Wikipedia

One of these huge bushes invaded my backyard and I have been chopping and cutting the thing but once it looks like I am done I see another layer of it. Some of it is dead but it seems to use this dead stuff as a wall. Mother Nature sure is clever.

Anyone have experience dealing with the plant?

I have no idea where it came from. We never planted it.

It kind of set up a fortress protecting its root area.

The sap is a little toxic but quite smelly.

I do think this is the right ID for the plant.
