Japanese Knotweed
This hardy, fast-growing plant is on the hit list of weed control efforts around the globe. It's an aggressive, exotic invasive species that quickly takes over roadsides, stream banks, and other areas, excluding native species and dramatically reducing biodiversity. The plant was at one time popular as an ornamental. These days, intentional or accidental introduction of the plant has been banned in many European countries and in many states and counties in the United States. Here's one exotic that many would like to be without!
