Identifying Japanese knotweed
Spring
Japanese Knotweed identification changes throughout the year with the plant changing its visual appearance from spring to winter.
Summer
Japanese Knotweed stems will reach heights of 2-3 metres in the summer with the stem being hollow with nodes that make the stem resemble bamboo.
Autumn
As we go into autumn, Japanese Knotweed will remain looking similar to late summer with tall stems and dark green leaves and white flowers.
Winter
In the winter months, the Japanese Knotweed canes will begin to die back and the plant will lose its leaves, leaving dried brittle canes.
