Almost have this huge problem solved. Cut it down to a stump and put some stump killer in it after drilling some holes. Will have to see how it looks in a few months.

Default If i were betting on lantana camara vs. a tiger: I would bet on the developed plant.

This stuff is very hard to get through.

Lantana invasion threatens 40 percent of India’s tiger habitat, reports study

That map is scary.

The picture with the group of men with a lantana camera branch looks like what I had to chop up on the side of our house. And the only things that worked was a machete and a pole saw.

Still you do not want of these things in your yard. They can show up on bird's feet and on the wind and the like.

I still cannot figure out where this came from unless a neighbor bought a lantana that had been mislabeled by a local nursery as one of the benign lantana species. And then the neighbor got rid of it and a bird or something else go the seeds.
