New location of this highly invasive species - unfortunately we are getting a spate of them - but please keep your eyes out it is a lot easier to deal with one plant than hundreds.

User's notes

Single plant beside walking track in otherwise pretty good remnant woodland.

Sorry Nikki I accidentally click undo rather than confirm so cleared your suggestion. Did you pull teh plant out?

No, didn't pull the plant out until I confirmed it, but will go back and get it.
