    :scratch: It looks like an Ash tree seedling to me..
    :dh: I would say it doesn't look as though it is the right place either coming out of the brickwork.. I think I would get rid of it before it disturbs you brickwork... :doh:

    if it is an ash seedling how fast do they grow as that thing has gone from litrally nothing to that big in 2 months!

    all of that ground is either getting concreted of tarmacced in the very near future, good by mr horsetails!!

    Very quickly, I would say that was about right for first growth robo.. So unless you want it just get rid of it along with your horsetails... Good luck mate & do show us the before & then after photos mate.. :thumb:
