Poke salat from Monika in South Carolina

Posted on |

this plant is growing near a ditch in my back yard. it is very tall, almost 7-8 feet.

Hi Monika,

the second picture you sent, not shown here, gave it away.  It is pokeweed, Phytolacca americana.  A common somewhat weedy native plant.

Sincerely,
