Free Invasive Weed Photo Identification

Not sure what you’re looking at? 

Not sure if that plant is a problem? Ask our experts

Send us clear photos and we will use our expertise to confirm if it is Japanese Knotweed, Bamboo, Giant Hogweed or another invasive species. We can also suggest the next steps if it is an invasive plant.

How to help us understand your problem weed:

  1. Take 2 to 4 photos: close-up of leaves and stems, plus a wider site view for scale.
  2. Include any flowers, seed heads or rhizome (roots) if visible.
  3. Tell us where the plant is – residential garden, public pathway or commercial site.
  4. Tell us how long you have suspected this plant was an invasive weed.
  5. Tell us the address and postcode, and approximate area affected.
