| The shrub is about 7' tall and covered with these fading pink flowers. I wish I'd noticed it earlier. The individual flowers are very small -- slightly larger than the head of a pin. There was no scent that I could detect, but it was early on a chilly morning. |

| It looks like the dreaded Japanese knotweed. |
|
| It's definitely not that. For one thing, it's huge. For another, the leaves are completely different. |

| Fallopia joponica, Polygonum cuspidatum! I agree with Carol, it certainly looks like Japanese konotweed. |

| Japanese Knotweed is huge, johnsaunt, but there is also a Giant Knotweed. Fallopia sachalinensis, and hybrids. I agree with the others. |

| Ooops! My mistake! There's a much smaller plant that I've heard referred to as "Japanese Knotweed" but when I looked up Polygonum cuspidatum, I saw that y'all were right! I guess I won't be trying to root any cuttings! Thanks! |
