These things grow very quickly and hog all sorts of available nutrients and water to the detriment of other more attractive plants. I pull them up the minute I spot them in the borders but there are thousands of these things growing from wind blown seed this year in my paths, parking area and a bit of old cobbeld road we have out the front. They're, only at the two and 4 leaf stage so far and I've just zapped them with glyphosate, the only non organic product I sue in my garden, along with assorted thistley things and groundsel and chickweed and grass growing where I don't want it.

Sorry Joe didn't mean to sound pompous, I was just pointing out that scientific names can be useful. This is also known as Pussy Willow, which is what I know it as.
Rubur was a typo btw, but too late to alter it once it was done
