Well you did in the sense I saw what I thought was the same weed on my back fence but upon closer inspection it is a little different and is the chokeberry you described. -Tom
Awesome.
Ripped out all the ones here. They slept over the winter (hibernated) despite being ripped out last year, too). So there must have been others lurking in the soil. Waiting for their day. Despite the multiple hard freezes over the winter.
Burn ‘em if you can (don’t burn down the neighborhood).
They’ll probably be a persistent problem.
One small nitpick here: Poke berry (AKA Pokeweed) and Chokeberry are 2 different plants. And since Chokeberries are edible and pokeweed berries are not, it might be important not to confuse anyone by calling them the same thing.
