    I think it might be Japanese Knotweed, although I'm not 100% sure.

    I'm afraid that's probably what it is.:( But, if it's not too widespread, you may be able to keep on top of it.

    There's a small clump that comes up regularly in a garden I manange and I just pull it up as soon a it rears its head. So far it hasn't spread. However, if you have a lot of it, more drastic measures will have be taken and I'm sure someone will offer suggestions on how to deal with it.

    Good luck.:gnthb: Chris
