I don't know how many of you would remember this weed...
but it is mentioned in the studio first semester.
Reynoutria japonica
I just looked up and it is it! You don't need to memorize this latin name but just for some reference. hehe
It is called Itadori in Japanese.. and you know we eat everything.. we do eat this weed too! ha!

Anyway, here are some pics.. they are growing so fast.. now they are a bit taller even. Websites say they grow about 2m high! I think Japan will be covered by this plant sometime.
This is my cousin chopping this weed.. she gave up to pull them out because they are all connected under ground! I told or warned her they are going to grow like crazy. (she and her hus band just moved that place and got a house, but that area is covered by this plant.. scary.)
