Abundant, aggressively-spreading tough tendrils which seek out neighboring vegetation. They then bloom into dirty-beige puffs.

Location
There is a large and spreading cluster of the fuzzy knotweed plant along the entire property/fenceline with 5153-5159 NE Killingsworth St. It has been cut back in the past but is (once again) starting to top the fence and grow over it. I can also see a tree in the neighboring property along the northern boundary of 5109 which appears to have been overtaken by the knotweed and is dying. I am heartbroken and horrified by the rapidity of the knotweed's spread on the tree as I can see it from my 2nd story bedroom window. This tree appears to be located in the driveway of 5122 NE Jarrett Street (which again, is directly behind 5109 NE Killingsworth Street). The plant is also now growing over the fence into my backyard space (5155 NE Killingsworth St) and I have recently pulled as much as I could from that area. The infestation between 5109 and my 4 unit building at 5153-5159 NE Killingsworth St appears too big for me to pull myself, especially as it is coming from the neighboring property.
