ID this plant please

I've got several of these popping up around the yard this year. Are they just random weeds or what? They don't look like anything else on the property.

Looks a little like Japanese Knotweed

WHEW! Glad it's not that ****! That appears to have alternate leaves while this has an opposing leaf arrangement. Starting to get little flower buds on it too.

FYI, there is an awesome app called seek that you can put on your phone which will identify plants and bugs using your camera. Works really well.

Last summer a niece was visiting. We're looking at a flower I'd been wondering about for a few years. She aims her fone at it and told me what it was in about 10 seconds.

It really is great. Instant gratification. Is that poison ivy? Nope - that's wild Sarsaparilla. WTF is that? That is a Beaked Hazelnut. I've never seen one either.

That almost looks like a bradford pear sapling

Try the plantnet App. I use it often to ID local flora.

Honeysuckle

Pull the center stem out of the flower to get a sweet drop of nectar.

If it's honeysuckle, kill that b*tch now. I'm working at ridding part of my property right now of that damn invasive weed/bush/tree.

That's great!...........except I'm the guy from that other thread that doesn't own a cell phone. Maybe I can figure out how to use this tablet and accomplish that.

I did a Google image search on the pictures and it came up with this.

Looks like this to me:

Japanese honeysuckle - Lonicera japonica (Care, Characteristics, Flower, Images, Toxic)

Japanese honeysuckle (*Lonicera japonica*) is a twining vine native to East Asia. It features white-yellow flowers that emit a pleasant, sweet aroma and are often visited by pollinators such as honeybees, but some parts of the plant are toxic to humans. In landscaping, japanese honeysuckle is...

I have some of this stuff. Got infested when putting some free mulch from the city's mulch site on my azaleas several years ago. Still trying to get rid of it. Some places around town have a lot of it, on fences, trees etc.

Looks like sumac.

Close.........I was able to get that app on this tablet. Went out in the yard and checked out a few things. These things popping up are Amur Honeysuckle. They are shrublike and get bright red berries on them after flowering. I remember seeing some of those berries in the fence row.

and along came the rats

I'll be pulling those suckers up by the roots and adding them to my brush pile to burn!

 

[58Yeoman]

They're hell to burn on a small burn pile. I swear the branches grow in six million different directions and hang on to each other like a sissy draft dodger hangs on to mommy. They usually snap off easy enough but still tangle up with others. I try to snap them off so they make a lower pile, otherwise they're piled really high because of the different directions. Have fun.

It's invasive honeysuckle...if you don't get all the roots they will resprout. They spread by both seed and root runners, pull the thing out and then keep checking the area for a couple years. Good luck!

Same here! same problem, same source, mulching the same azaleas. I finally found a way to kill it and not the azaleas. Cut the vine about a foot long or so. Dip the cut end into a little bit of undiluted generic Roundup. Done. And no danger of overspray on your desirables.
