These were the small ones, only 75 inch in height. The sap of this 'invasive alien ornamental' plant is phototoxic. Contact with the plant sap can lead to a serious skin inflammation.
Hate the stuff, have found it twice surveying and turned it in to the Dept. of Agriculture. We saw kids playing in a creek right by some that were 14' tall. Very scary stuff! guess there was a nursery upstream.
@juliedduncan@swchappell@brillomick crappy weeds indeed. But not ugly at all... It’s the plant sap that is nasty, so do not chop it! Stay out of the sun after contact and be careful with pets!
