I am working on weeding and slowly ridding our backyard of the pests. Help me identify these plants: #1 is pretty tall, 4 feet I'd say. #2 is everywhere and I'm wondering if it was from the whirly bird maple seeds that came down all over in the spring #3 No clue! All in Northern Virginia.
A weed, a tree and a plant walk into a bar... You make up the rest. #3 is pokeweed, Phytolacca americana. Its a perennial.
The plant has a few drinks then goes on his way, the tree orders his drinks and stays a long time, and the weed gets kicked out but keeps coming back for more!! Ohhh pokeweed, why do you visit me every year? Well, now I know what it looks like early, instead of waiting for the berries. Thanks!!
