Question
Hello! Could you please help me to identify the plants that grow near my neighbor's house? Is it Japanese Knotweed? I live in Northern Massachusetts. Thank you.
Answer
Dear ttzh, good afternoon. Yes, this is a species of Winged-knotweed (genus Reynoutria), to which Japanese winged-knotweed belongs. However, the leaf blade shape suggests this is Bohemian winged-knotweed (Reynoutria x bohemica), which has Japanese winged-knotweed as one of its parents. Best wishes.
