Can you help identify this mustard found in Brookfield, CT? It is very large (~4ft) in upland areas.
Answer
Dear KDC, good morning. The plant you've pictured is, as best I can tell from the photographs, Brassica nigra (black mustard). This is an infrequent introduction in New England that can be common in some areas, especially in disturbed sites and along river banks. Best wishes.
