I once rented a house that had a wisteria in the front yard, and absolutely nothing for it to climb on. I don't know who's genius idea that was, but it resulted in me frequently lopping off vines at the base of the trunk, lest they take over the entire lawn. I scavenged a bit of lattice for it to grow on at one point but never got around to doing much more than that. Still more than anybody else had done, though.

Personally, I tend to notice figs, raspberries, iceplant, and periwinkles because they're all considered highly invasive here. That same house had a fig tree in the back yard and while I won't deny the fruit was nice, finding fig volunteers in all of my other plantings was not. Even years later, things that I've given my mother-in-law are popping up with tiny fig trees. :sigh:

The champion Pacific madrone is growing right next to some lady’s house in Mendocino County, California.

drat, now I have an oak tree I want to nominate. There's a coastal live oak (quercus agrifolia) on my old college campus that's just massive and sprawling. Google Maps couldn't even get it in one shot.

Actually, the whole campus is really pretty imo. Retro 60s/70s buildings and lots of mature trees. There's even a creek that cuts through the campus and the banks are completely wild. Being able to sneak into the woods between classes was always a great way to relax.
