Thanks Garrapata, Nana had me curious too!


Sorry but it's not elder. The shape of the umbels is entirely wrong for
elder, and elder doesn't have double umbels. It just doesn't LOOK like
elder, which is a common weed here.

It looks a bit like Aralia elata (a Japanese species which is hardy and
spreading in the northeast USA) or could it be Aralia spinosa which is
native to the southeast USA?
