>> It can grow up to 14 feet tall, with thick leaves stretching two to five feet across and large clusters of white flowers gracing the top of the plant in an umbrella pattern.

that crap grows all over the place here.

Damn, where can I buy seeds for this plant in commercial quantities? I want to pay China back for their “gifts” of snakehead fish and stink bugs to Maryland and other states.

So it’s named after David Hogg.

Its dangers are more than coincidental.

oh crap- i just made a survival shelter out of this weed-

We need to plant this HogWeed thickly along our southern border.

Where did it come from?

[bgill]

You sure is it isn’t Hoggweed that spread out of Florida?

The title would be more accurate by saying “can cause.” How is hogweed any different than pokeweed? With some plants, you need to avoid the sap. Avoid the sap of the hogweed or pokeweed (and the juice of its berries) and you’re fine.

I’m no botanist, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this “hogweed” is another example of God having a sense of humor; it probably holds the cure for cancer or mitigates some other nasty disease/condition.

Casting our “pearls” before swine indeed.

That stuff grows everywhere that the surface soil remains constantly wet.

We chop that crap up with machetes when doing topographic surveys in spring fed landslides. never have seen anyone harmed by it though.

It stinks bigtime!
