As I take it this plant should be removed as a matter of urgency. With the ground soft due to the recent rains, I shall pay this one a visit in the morning. :)

Dugout and bagged 5 plants on 7/2/21, will monitor the area over the next couple months. Hopefully, this one has been nipped in the bud :).
