Who owns the boundary? If this is some kind of shelter belt there may be some scheme it is entered into as a corridor for widlife. Check it out.

Also add Rhododendron and Laurel to that list as well as ragwort, bluebells (I think) and azalias. No tomato or potato stalks or leaves either.
If I think of any more I'll add them.
