All About Knotweed |

Basic information about Japanese knotweed and related species
- Knotweed Nomenclature - A closer look at the many different common and scientific names of Japanese Knotweed.
- Not Reinventing the Wheel - Links to other Japanese Knotweed sites that provide images, descriptions, history, and methods of control of this species.
- What does it look like? - Japanese Knotweed photos showing resprout from rhizomes starting in Spring of 2002. (last updated 11/8/02)
- Thesis Research: From 1998 to 2002, I collected samples of Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica, Polygonum cuspidatum, Reynoutria japonica), giant knotweed (F. sachalinensis), Russian vine (F. baldschuanica, silver lace vine), and Japanese knotweed cultivars. Japanese knotweed, native to Asia and introduced to the United States in the late 19th century, has become a very aggressive invader of disturbed and shaded habitats. There is evidence that hybridization occurs between these Fallopia species.
