Originally reported as Japanese Knotweed (Fallopia japonica)

Submitter does not have a specimen

Description of specimen

Maybe 3-4 plants (must have come via trucks that dealt with falllen trees from the snowstorm because they’re right beside the gravel road) about 5-6 feet high.

Commentary

None

Resources

Red Elderberry information on OregonFlora.

Location

Japanese knotweed along a feeder stream beside the EWEB access road north of the Leaburg Canal. Just a few plants, so it should be possible to eradicate if they go after it soon. This is in the forest uphill From the canal.
