Japanese Knotweed

[Dumpling]

Thank you for this. I did knot now about this invasive before
you posted.

The current weeds: creeping charlie, burdock, mulberry, Canadian
thistle, bindweed, one or two similar small vines, morning glory [[but so pretty!), Rose of Sharon [[it is easy to deal with and pretty too), wild
grapes vines, the new invasive replacement elm, Ailanthus, regular
thistle....leaving out a few no doubt. Dandelions don't count in my
book - those are so susceptible to Scotts Step Two.

Oh yeah. Garlic Mustard just showed up a year ago behind the garage.

Don't forget purple lustrife; pretty but chokes out wetland quickly. And Russian Olive trees. They were not here before the 70's

Russian Olive was brought here in the late 1800s as a hardy, quick-growing windbreak for farms.
Purple loosestrife was here in the early 1800s and is thought to have stowed away in European ships' ballast.
