Claire Peterson Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Hi everyone, A woman in Norton Shores contacted us through our MISC facebook page about a plant that has started to grow from her neighbor's yard and through their fence. She was wondering if it is Japanese knotweed. Below are images she sent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie Grzesiak Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Four of the images are indeed Japanese knotweed. The fifth (with flowers) is an invasive honeysuckle, likely Lonicera tartarica. Killing knotweed on just the messenger's property likely won't work, as it shares a root system with the neighbor; they will need to work with their neighbor to manage the whole stand together.
