I think it is Knotweed, especially if you have treated it in that area

Looks like knot weed. Dig out as much as you can and spray what’s left behind. Burn it and don’t drop any bits

It’s bindweed. Knot weed has thicker stems as it supports itself whereas bindweed needs something to climb up.

Doesn’t look like Japanese knotweed

Hi I’m an ecologist. That looks like Japanese knotweed. After being treated it can push out what’s known as bonsai growth which is smaller kind of deformed growth. Which is exactly what it looks like you have here. Keep treating it because even these small bits are as easily spread as the big stuff.

It’s bonsai growth Japanese Knotweed. I deal with it in my day-to-day work. Depending how big it was originally you may be able to manually remove it, but it’s always advisable that you get a professional to do that. Just bear in mind you can’t simply dig it up and dump it into your regular waste bin as that is breaking the law. If you want to know more see regulation 49 (2) specifically of the habitats regulations 2011. Long story short herbicides should only be viewed as a control mechanism and not an eradication method. Seek professional advice before going at it.

Horticulturist here, it is Japanese knotweed nightmares to get rid of. You need to keep cutting it constantly, never let it get too much to handle, and you can try putting some diesel in the ground once it’s dug up but depending on where it is that might destroy the rest of your garden anyway best of luck

Looks more like bindweed rather than knotweed.
I don’t think it’s JKN either
