Japanese Knotweed is another plant that you really should not plant near data centers.

@dphiffer good tip! Folks, feel free to add warnings + regions where they are most disruptive to the local habitat.

Willows & cottonwoods shouldn't be planted either, as their roots can severely destroy water lines and will travel 20-25 feet looking for water. Especially near data centers that promised not to take water out of the ravaged Colorado River but now are suing to do so.

Also when stressed they send up even more trees so they're devilishy hard to remove. Look for any trees/plants in the poplar and salix genera for natives in your area to avoid these characteristics.
