I found this in the thicket above my porch. The place is home to lots of birds, so I suppose they transported it here. Is it time to get out the flamethrower?

Thanks in advance

If you don't want it, pull it up now. Don't wait. The leaves have a
sort of waxy coat and it just shrugs off weedkiller - even full strength
glyphosate has little effect once it gets established.


If you mix some liquid soap with the herbicide, you defeat waxy coats,
fuzzy leaves, and other surfaces that normally will not become wet.
