Found a wild hop plant

[The10mmKid]

Just relaying my find.


We were clearing a hiking trail for the MetroPark and decided to leave her. She was just starting to set burrs or side-arms at the leaf unions.


Didn't see any others during our 3hr stint.

I'll check back on her in a couple weeks.

Quite possible from the looks of it that it is a Japanese hop. Any pictures of cones or male flowers?

Dig you dig up and check for rhizomes? Japanese hops are annual and will not produce rhizomes.

I'll check on it next W/E.
