If you know invasive plants could you reply to this comment? A reader has commented on an older post about an invasive plant she can’t identify. I don’t recognize it from her description, but maybe you do.

Could it possibly be pokeweed? http://www.altnature.com/gallery/pokeweed.htm
My aunt use to eat the young leaves but I have only dyed wool with the berries.
