Looking through old threads and I can't find much information on these plants. They are everywhere around here but to find a single stem bush takes a while but I found one on the backside of my property last year.
I chopped this and dug it up in July. Pretty tough plants because it didn't skip a beat. I let the thing grow the rest of the year and the new shoots grew about 2'. I planned on letting it grow all of this year to thicken the top leader but alas, the bunnies had other plans.
It's buds are just starting to swell so I can get it out of this sand and slip it into something more comfortable.
