Finally there is English Ivy, where bounded it makes a nice (not to be mowed) area. At some point in the past I must have moved some to the garden out back and it continually jumps the 6' privacy fence into the neighbor's property.

Hibiscus. I love them in photos. But most I have seen in real life and up close look horrible, always have infestations of some kind that are really creepy. I believed for a long time that all photos of hibiscus were manipulated because of the quantity I have seen that look like they'd spent two weeks at Walmart's clearance rack resort.
Crabapples. I can't believe these are grown as edibles for consumption by humans. Bitterly foul tasting. Provide very little shade. They hurt your feet when you step on them, and you are always stepping on them because every crapapple tree I have known drops their fruit by the dozens and there are few people that eat them enough to bother cleaning up the dropped ones. Neighborhood bullies pick them up to throw them at others.
