We spent years 'fighting' it as a 'weed' and then decided to sit back and let it grow. The landscape changed, other trees flourished near and amongst it, it shaded out more pernicious weed plants, and provides a great source of insect food for bees and other pollinators. By regular thinning and shredding you can build soils in the area and gradually move to the species you want to establish. Work with whatever comes up, and don't fight it.
