I have recently moved and my new house is on an acre of land. i found this plat growing on it and want to know more about it. it gets rather tall at least 9 feet, and leafs are large and in the shape of spades. the stalk is hollow. this is my 1st spring here so im not sure if it flowers or seeds or how it spreads. please help thank you. jamie johnson
