Hello, any idea what this might be? The tallest has shot up to about 6' tall so far. They've shown up over the last few years under a big, shady tree in my back yard in Kentucky where there is little to no direct sunlight.   |

| No question: Phytolacca americana - Pokeweed. Seeds are deposited from bird droppings, and they will germinate and grow whether in sun or shade. John |

| Thank you! Did some research, and it turns out pokeweed can be toxic as easily as when sap leeches in through the skin. I'm very glad to know this so I can use caution when removing it. |

Good eye y'all  I knew it looked very familiar but I didn't remember Pokeweed; some great comments at the bottom of the database page here: Pokeweed (Phytolacca americana) ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |
