Report #1460 - Report: Knotweed (unknown species) (Fallopia sp.)

Knotweed (unknown species) (Fallopia sp.) on May 8, 2014

Originally reported as Japanese Knotweed (Fallopia japonica)

Submitter does not have a specimen

Description of specimen

Small patch of knotweed (I am positive it was an invasive knotweed, but not 100% sure if it was Japanese) growing in alley.

Commentary

Hey, Andrea. Thanks for the report. We're not actually doing much with knotweed outside existing treatment sites, unless new patches are in riparian corridors. Until we can find a way to deal with what we have, we've kind of stalled on adding urban patches of knotweed.
