Thanks Bill,

That's the one!

Sorry for the incorrect usage of "palmate"

I'm wondering if anyone in this group can help me to ID a plant.

I live in Ithaca, NY (in the Finger Lakes region), which has fairly
rainy, temperate climate. The plant in question looks like a kind of
false bamboo.

Polygonum cuspidatum (Japanese Knotweed) meets some of your description, though
the leaves aren't palmate.
