It's on my to-do list, and fortunately I now have some practical experience with its control due to helping on a workday at Lake Charleston coordinated by the Embarras Volunteer Stewards.]]> 2020-05-18 17:52:39 UTC https://padlet.com/aburkemort/tjpd7rk6otwjfqi/wish/580629862 https://padlet.com/aburkemort/tjpd7rk6otwjfqi/wish/583465835 A beautiful woodland scene (with brush pile).]]> 2020-05-19 20:27:45 UTC https://padlet.com/aburkemort/tjpd7rk6otwjfqi/wish/583465835 https://padlet.com/aburkemort/tjpd7rk6otwjfqi/wish/590333175 starting to bolt!]]> 2020-05-23 13:13:22 UTC https://padlet.com/aburkemort/tjpd7rk6otwjfqi/wish/590333175 https://padlet.com/aburkemort/tjpd7rk6otwjfqi/wish/667117908 Is this a woodland knotweed- a jumpseed- growing along my fence?]]> 2020-08-01 15:50:21 UTC https://padlet.com/aburkemort/tjpd7rk6otwjfqi/wish/667117908 https://padlet.com/aburkemort/tjpd7rk6otwjfqi/wish/730542726 The plant for ID submitted by June is indeed woodland knotweed - Antenoron virginianum! It is a common woodland plant and also pops up here and there in our home environs because of its hooked seeds, hence the name jumpseed. It is a colony forming plant also and it can dominate some spots in the woodland ground flora, especially where invasive woody plants have shaded out the native species.]]> 2020-09-09 11:30:31 UTC https://padlet.com/aburkemort/tjpd7rk6otwjfqi/wish/730542726
