Default Help with TREE ID
(mel turner) replied


It's a stinging nettle, a species of _Urtica_.
Probably Urtica urens. Those long pale hairs on the stems and
leaves can sting you. [This is an example of a venomous [not
poisonous] plant!] Weren't you stung by it when collecting those
stems and leaves?


Thanks for the help. I'd better stick with day job (sheepish grin).
I definitely noticed the needles, but wasn't stung by them.
