Hackberry and ailanthus here, not to mention the  blackberries.>>>>>
 
Common Hackberry (Celtis occidentalis) actually is a rather nice
landscaping tree, and ought to be planted more than it is.
 
At least in my areas of Wisconsin, there is not a problem from their  
seeding
in everywhere.  Ailanthus (Tree of Heaven) has not made it to 
NW and West Central Wisconsin yet, and I haven't noticed any in
Minnesota.  They are certainly here in Pennsylvania, and climb  up
the mountains along the roadways.  There are a few large and  actually
rather beautiful trees locally, but they are mostly a pest.
