Found in a public park area next to a car park. Doesn’t look intentional and does look like Japanese knotweed – am I wrong or do I need to report this?

    It’s Japanese knotweed.

    If you can/need to report it, depends on your location.

  2. Yes I’m going to give it a go, definitely invasive here. Thanks for the quick confirmation

    It is…..🫣
    Glyphosate controls it surprisingly well.
    Dont start/try chopping out the rhizomes.Also then,disposal becomes a specialist affair too.

    It’s already spreading by root from the looks of it, which means it’s too late to dig it out. This needs an herbicide eradication plan.

    It depends on what you think it is. I think you’d be safe saying it’s not an enchilada.

    Yes, that’s a parking lot. They can pop up just about anywhere, and are *very* invasive.
