    This plant has been trying to establish itself in my backyard for several years now. The size of this plant at this time is 15 X 15 CMs. I have consistently pulled it out by roots knowing that I never planted it so assumed as weed.

    It very nearly makes me want to say member of common name rhubarb but can't say for sure. I have decided to let this particular plant exist until I can identify so I know how to treat it if I treat it at all.

    Thanks,

    Skip

    Thanks much Tyrlych you got it. Now since Burdock, Arctium sp. insists on growing despite my effort to stop it, I may be able to use the medical part to help my health. Thanks again,
