| Can't seem to figure out what weed this is, can anyone help?
I've looked all over and can't identify it as one of the more common weeds. Seems unresponsive to Trimec (2-4D) and just trying to figure out how to remove it from my client's yard.
It grows in a vine/spreading fashion, appearing after a long hot dry period and has only appeared in a small corner of the yard. I haven't seen any flowers or other identifying characteristics, but have a few more pictures if needed. |

| Almost looks like spurge. |

| There's some spurge in there too, but it responds well to 2-4DS and this has a much more developed root system than spurge would have. |

| triclopyr works on spurge for me |

| Could also be chamberbitter aka mimosa weed. |

| Thank you! That's definitely it! http://www.walterreeves.com/lawn-care/chamberbitter-mimosa-weed/ I've sprayed it twice with 2-4D and saw minimal wilting, but apparently I'll need to get on my hands and knees and pull it all. Thanks so much! |

| I've never heard of mimosa weed but that definitely looks like mimosa leaves on mimosa stems. |

| I had never heard of it either, but that's definitely what it is. It did show signs of yellowing after two sprayings, but due to the heat I've been pulling the remainder rather than damaging the fescue turf with excessive herbicide treatments. |
