Yes the leaves grow alternately on JK Paul. My ex husband moved into a new house a year or two ago and there was JK on the adjoining, council owned, woodland. It's been chemically treated.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Hi artjak, I read on-line that gardeners can not treat it themselves and they would have to call in specialists.
Hey FG, it has a clump of multiple stems at the base, bamboo like about 30cm in width. Oh some is heigh at the back of the garden and some are a lot smaller at the front of her garden.
Ah ok thats good to know FG, all I have to do now is identify whatever it is, like nutcullet said it might be leycesteria formosa which I have never heard of but it looks like it might be
If it's in various positions around the garden it might be worth asking other neighbours if they have it too. If they have, and you're in any doubt, I expect a call to the council would be worthwhile as they might come and take a look to put everyone's mind at ease.Depends how nice they are!

Definitely NOT japanese knotweed! We had it in the garden - just one little bit - and I'm very proud to say managed to kill it dead dead dead dead dead . Sorry. It did become a bit of an obsession at one stage.
I was confused by the feathery bits until I realised that was a willow in the background. I think it's most likely Leycesteria formosa and not jap knotweed.

Ok I will ask the neighbours when I pop over there this thursday
The council will be the next option

But this looks like friendly old fennel to me.
I agree, last year's fennel stems - cut them down to the base and dry them, then use them on the BBQ when you're cooking fish
Or use them to make a bug box
Or both

I still think it's leycesteria
