yeahhh they really don’t have much of a purpose 😭 they were planted en masse because they grow quickly and have pretty white flowers. however, the “grow really quickly” part has made it so that these trees are SUPER invasive and outcompete native plants… but they also have really weak wood so they fall down easily! i dual enrolled in hs and did a garden center technician certificate, and my woody plant id prof described them as “junk trees,” which she didn’t do for almost any other plant!
