read this the other day just focusing on the photo and the side effects, not reading the plant description, and thought 'wow, see these all the time in the field'. The ones I see like this don't grow to fifteen feet tall.?ÿ

You DO NOT want to screw around with giant hogweed.?ÿ Did a survey where one adjoiner had apparently planted their entire 1000' of road frontage with it, because it started & stopped at the boundary - wtf??ÿ Reported it to DEC.?ÿ Town highway folks weren't happy with the eradication protocol - Tyvek suits, masks, gloves, goggles.?ÿ In mid July.?ÿ Extremely toxic and the effects are lasting.

Hogweed
