  • Question

    This plant was at my new home in Dekalb Illinois when I moved in. We have a creek running through our back yard. There are several of them, so I am guessing that they spread?? Can you help me identify it please? Thank you!

    Answer

    Dear Pwelland, thank you for posting the image, but I'm unable to tell you what the species is without flowers and/or fruits. You are located far enough away from my region of expertise that I will need the reproductive parts of this plant to help you. If you can get additional images when it flowers, I will try to assist. Best wishes.
