Weed Identification

[Spencie]

Can anyone tell me what this weed/plant is? Since we bought the property it has popped up in all of our fields. It grows extremely fast, sometimes 3+ feet before the field needs mowed.

Was going to say milkweed at first but….

 

[JARHEAD]

Milkweed was gonna be my guess

 

[Spencie]

Yup, that looks like what it is. Thanks

Milkweed has a green stem. That's the best indicator between the two. Not that you'd go so far as to ingest it, but it is poisonous.

yep, it’s dogbane. Kill it.

That was off the Picture This app others recommended on here before. Man that thing is handy as you can even take a picture off the internet and run it through the app and get results. Done that a few times now on trees and now that weed.

The app wants you to start a free trial every time you use it, just X it out and it opens so you can take (or select) a pic to analyze.

It’s hemp dogbane. Usually takes 2 sprays of roundup to kill it.

Plantsnap app is what I've been using for a couple years. Seems to do a good job.

Plantnet is the app I use…looks very similar to the apps others here are using.
