turkeyfeathers Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) http://i.imgur.com/kpvO9r5.jpg Dang sideways pic Anyhow, found this along a main trail with Frisbee golf all around it. I emailed pic to DEC but haven't received a response yet. Hogweed can give you some serious chemical burns if you get the sap on you.

wooly Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) Sure looks like hogweed to me. Purple hairy stems on those plants? This is definitely the time of year for it. The forest of hogweed across the road from me is in full bloom and spreading even further throughout the creek bottom this year.

Pygmy Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) The sap from cow parsnip is toxic/caustic also... A friend of mine in Alaska got into and she has permanent scars on her legs... Edited July 10, 2015 by Pygmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
