What kind of weed...


Recommended Posts

Anyone know what kind of weed this is it grows on my job in some areas similar to what I have upstate. I’m going to bring some home and see if the deer will eat it. I seen a few residents picking it but can’t understand them.

I'm not sure, but looks like pokeweed to me. Looks like the leaves have been pretty chewed up, so it's a little hard to tell. If the locals are picking it, it very likely is. 
 

That’s how the leaves grow it has a purple steam with little black thrones.

Okay, not poke then. I'm intrigued now. Let me send it to our Master Gardner group and see if they have an answer.

Looks like curly dock. Some people do eat it. 

That's what it looks like to me.  Deer seem to like it before it becomes mature.  Easy to identify it late in the summer with the brown seed clusters.
