Question
Anyone know what this plant is or is it a weed. It appears every year and I usually pull it out thinking it's a weed.
Answer
Dear marcolfifi, I can't help with you with confidence because I don't know what part of the world your plant is originating from. Location is a very important part of the identification process because it narrows down the possible choices of what can be found in a certain place. Your plant looks like Phytolacca Americana (American pokeweed), which would have white flowers and dark purple fruits later in the summer. Best wishes.
