Description of specimen

I'm pretty sure the patches are knotweed, with the right stems and leaves. I'm not positive they are Japanese knotweed.

Commentary

None

Remedy

Knotweed Shrub Complex: Identification, Biology, and Management, Oregon Extension Service

Location

There are several small patches of Knotweed,. The biggest one is behind the apartment complex on Fanno Creek south of the Tigard Library. I think there is also a patch right along the path in the restored area near the Library.
