| Goldenrod (10.03.2024) |
A native of North American, goldenrod grows profusion along the GAP, often covering tennis-court-sized areas or larger. Although viewed as a weed by some it does have its fans, some of them almost rabid in their devotion: See Goldenrod Glory. Also see Not Just Another Pretty Face.

Originally from East Asia—Japan, Korea, China, and Taiwan—Japanese Knotweed is extremely invasive, occurring in large thickets that drive out Native plants. Even the ultra-conservative New York Post has weighted in on this issue, branding knotweed as an Undesirable Alien. Sprouting in early spring, it can grow several inches in one day and reach heights of up to eight feet. The good news is the young stalks are Edible and can even be used to make Pickles.
