Drew Rayner Posted July 12, 2016 Report Posted July 12, 2016 Had a couple JK pictures that I thought people might want for presentations or outreach. There are four pictures of JK growing up into someones basement and one picture of JK growing under someones siding and coming out at the top of the house. The last picture is of a JK leaf that we found on a patch that was treated last year. It appears two leaves have fused together to make a cup with a third leaf growing in the middle. Thoughts on this? Quote
Nature Hannah Posted September 20, 2016 Report Posted September 20, 2016 OMG THANK YOU! here's some growing through parking lots and sidewalks in Kalamazoo! Quote
Nature Hannah Posted September 20, 2016 Report Posted September 20, 2016 Where were your pictures taken? here's an odd trait I've been finding that I'm curious about. Long, almost diamond shaped leaves turn up on almost all the bigger stands I find. Quote
Nature Hannah Posted September 20, 2016 Report Posted September 20, 2016 And here's a pic of small pieces sprouting. Someone in an alley chopped it all up and then put soil over it, hoping it would die. Ha! It didn't die. Quote
Nature Hannah Posted July 5, 2017 Report Posted July 5, 2017 Found this building in Kalamazoo 6/24/17! If anyone wants to know the address, message me! Quote
Nature Hannah Posted August 22, 2017 Report Posted August 22, 2017 Variegated knotweed, one years growth Quote
Nature Hannah Posted November 23, 2017 Report Posted November 23, 2017 This is that building in Kalamazoo Quote
Nature Hannah Posted November 23, 2017 Report Posted November 23, 2017 From a historic district in Kalamazoo. The person who called me said that the neighbor has been giving this soil to everyone in the neighborhood. Quote
Nature Hannah Posted November 23, 2017 Report Posted November 23, 2017 I've called Best Way Disposal and sent them some information. They said they have 'rejection notices' they can leave on the carts saying why it was rejected. I suggested they add a line/box for knotweed for the future, with a little explanation/direction. The danger we might run into is that if people can't send it somewhere, they'll start dumping, which could make the problem worse. So, there will need to be a path/directions for disposal set up before or con-current with implementation of rejection of the material. Quote
Nature Hannah Posted November 23, 2017 Report Posted November 23, 2017 Utility lines are a great place to find knotweed. (I'm still waiting for pictures from BCK CISMA of a Consumer's Energy Site that the company keeps driving their truck through. I heard it was awesome (in a bad way)). Quote
Nature Hannah Posted November 23, 2017 Report Posted November 23, 2017 A few more from an alley in Kalamazoo, the power station near the senior center in kzoo, growing through a car, between utilities (in the UK there's some pics of it growing in the wiring and disrupting services), at a "No Dumping" Site where it was dumped and took off, and swallowing a house.

Claire Peterson Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 @Nature Hannah & @Drew Rayner , Would you two be able to add these images to our invasive species album in our gallery? I can save the image and re-upload them but I want to make sure that the quality stays the same! Quote
Nature Hannah Posted June 13, 2023 Report Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) A person in my Worldwide Japanese Knotweed Support Group just posted about knotweed that had been covered with an old pool for 5-10 years. This is what it looked like when they pulled it up, and the next picture was 24 hours later... pinked up! Edited June 13, 2023 by Nature Hannah additional information aquired Quote
