New England; woodland edge.

Cannot figure it out for the life of me.

Should have added -- maybe three or four feet tall. Leaves remind me of sassafras.

I believe it is giant ragweed, but I didn't know it grew in New England.

Those leaves look *really* similar. On image search they aren't as tall as in the southeast but they really close. There is are sporadic clusters along the Connecticut river.

Maybe the plant climate change diaspora???

I think you are right!

Ambrosia trifida

Thank you!!!!

I guess this kind of things explains the last three weeks of sneezing. Nice looking plant though.

I also agree with the ID of Giant Ragweed (Ambrosia trifida)
