This Week's Noxious W**d is: Japanese knotweed

Japanese knotweed is a deciduous perennial growing up to 9 foot tall. Annually growing from deep-rooted creeping rhizomes, it forms extensive clonal patches that are expensive to treat or remove. Stout hollow stems are greenish red, with nodes. Leaves are short stalked, 6 to 8 inches long by 4 to 5 inches wide. Japanese knotweed flowers are greenish-white to cream in large plume-like clusters at the ends of the stems. Bloom time occurs late July, to October. It establishes most often along riparian areas, though many reports place them in forest understories, forest edges, yards and gravel operations.
