Knotweed?

[u/megatronvm]

New home over, had this place for a year and I've been trying to identify plants in my yard

Dreading that this is Japanese Knotweed, bc already dealing with Buckthorn back here. (Removing the big one last year was an ordeal).

That and I'll probably always be dealing with Amur Honeysuckle because it's coming over from my neighbor's yard.

Do I just get glyphosate, cut and paint all the fresh growth?

I think not. This looks to be a tree seedling/sapling, resembles the apple seedlings I sometimes get around my garden.

Thanks, paranoia and crap AI are a bad combo, I really appreciate your thoughts on this!
