Hey all; I have this plant in a couple large patch that are significantly increasing in size (taking over from Salmon Berries) along my road frontage. I'm concerned that it is an invasive weed but before I go destroying it I want to have an id... and I just can't find it; it basically looks identical to all the kinds of knotweed in the Georgia Basin (Japanese, Giant etc.) except that the leaves are significantly different - see attached pictures. Thanks; Nick
Aruncus species? http://www.missouriplants.com/Whitealt/Aruncus_dioicus_page.html http://www.duke.edu/~jspippen/plants/aruncus.htm
yeah that would definitely be it. Native to BC! - and I didn't know it or find it; now that is embarrasing, thanks. Nick
