Privet.

Spreads by suckers and seed. Evergreen. Incredibly dense thickets. Will grow thirty feet in sun but even full shade won't stop it. Will pop out of any soil. Can coppice/pollard it several times a year.

Excellent year round goat forage. Chickens like the berries (a rare winter food source). Pretty white flowers.

Produces decent poles and firewood.
