Im sorry if it came across that way I’m German and probably bit more direct ( husbands account ) I just really worried how I’m going to deal with it right next to house all across the lawn Glyphosate is banned here I have done lots of research but just confused as doesn’t look like typical knotweed but also can’t find what else it could be maybe it’s because it’s been treated with some other weed killer & this is regrowth
@leslie.gibbsyUIawWDZ Download the Plantnet app to a smart phone and you can scan it with your phone and it will give you a pretty accurate description of what it is. I used it when out for a walk and saw what I thought was JKW and used plantnet to confirm my diagnosis.
I wouldn't dig it out. Just a small piece breaks off when your digging and it will take root if left in the soil.
If Glyphosate is banned in France you need to contact your local agri dept and find out what can be used as unless you have something like Glyphosate ( and even with that repeated treatment can take 5 years to get rid) you'll never get rid of it.

Possibly I didn’t see the leaves before it was cut down in August to ground I have one photo from distance in Spring plant to left of photo Are you stems segmented or smooth ?
Sorry, phone photos. If I cut the stems that are red and not brown, there is still a bit of milky sap. Thats fairly definitive for euphorbia. Maybe you could cut the stems of the proposed JKW and see if they do the same? Also Japanese knotweed stems are usually hollow.

I favour "curt but helpful". All this luvvy-dovey time wastingg niceness to stangers just wates time and space. (btw, pansy.. was herself rather curt in my opinion.)
