  • Question

    Last one from our yard in Portsmouth NH. This picture was taken now (late April) and is in the woods and along the edge of the woods where the lawn begins in our yard. It seems like it spreads underground by a long root/rhizome type thing. Lots of it popping up. Any thoughts? Thank you.

    Answer

    Dear Maryanne, it looks like a species of Solidago (goldenrod). It would be difficult for me to confidently tell you which species without flowers/fruits, but hopefully knowing the genus will be useful to you. Best wishes.
