Tall Weed | Walter Reeves: The Georgia Gardener

Name that plant

This plant is about eight feet tall now. Its leaves are several inches long. The stem looks to be pulpy, and maybe fibrous.

Jim Unregistered says:

. . . except I think it is more commonly called “great ragweed”.

Looks like giant ragweed… http://www.illinoiswildflowers.info/weeds/plants/giant_ragweed.htm I think I’d pull that for the compost pile… before it blooms.
