I live on 6 acres, i wanna some of the different types of plants i live with, and maybe devote some land to them as well as learning how they seed
One of the photos ive taken is of invasive stems that take up a large majority of the property, id like to curb its growth(attached as the last slide)i live in nj, the ground is very clay like and any non devloped area is usually pretty swampy

the first 4 pics are of Japanese knotweed. There’s lots of q+a and advice on the r/invasivespecies about this plant so search for it there. Also can look at this site for a crash course: [https://extension.psu.edu/japanese-knotweed](https://extension.psu.edu/japanese-knotweed)
I work at a state park in NJ and see this multiple times a day this is Knotweed
Looks like you’ve got some JKW , Virginia creeper, and maybe some bindweed/morning glory. Not 100% on the rest
10 and 11 are tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), a native member of the magnolia family.
For the knotweed, the most effective treatment option is to wait until just after they flower and inject each stem with a small amount of glyphosate herbicide.
Japanese knotweed, super blurry mugwort(?), possibly Japanese stiltgrass (a super shitty invasive but not as bad as the knotweed), edit: forgot to mention the hedge bindweed, Virginia creeper (native but grows aggressively), tulip poplar (native, 70ft tall tree at maturity so you should remove it if it’s close to any structures).
Photo number 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 is a Fallopia japonica
