Quote SHH, what we have here is Queen Anne's Lace. It looks similiar but doesn't get as big, and doesn't cause the damage this stuff does.

Ok...gotta see it...anyone got a pic or link to see this Hogsweed??
Sounds like something Uncle Hubert woulda grown up in the holler after "sweetening" the soil real good with hog crap. Everybody wanted some of his Hog Weed!!

LOL

You are right. It looks EXACTLY like Queen Anne's Lace only on steriods. It is really freaky to see one up close. And unless the law has changed very recently it was still legal to grow in PA. Yikes!

I've seen it in Orange County NY.
