How to spot Japanese Knotweed

Japanese Knotweed is a Herbaceous perennial, with stems typically about 2m tall and an extensive system of rhizomes. It has large, roughly triangular leaves with truncate (not cordate (heart-shaped)) bases. In early spring reddish/ pink buds begin to emerge from the ‘Crown’ of the plant and will quickly develop into long straights stems which can grow up to 2 metres in heights.
