Question
Hi there, I'm trying to identify these showy plants that grow very tall along roads in VT. I appreciate your help!
Answer
Dear jebcas, good afternoon to you. These look like the flowering arrays of Phragmites (reed), most likely Phragmites australis(common reed). Without seeing the stem and leaf sheaths, I can't be certain of the species (we do have a native species, but it is much less common and not often roadside). Best wishes.
