I forgot to mention that it's easy to identify (at least as it gets
tall) by examining the stem. The stem is a smooth and shiny yellow
green color and is also described as "grooved". But to me the
cross-section looks more like the shape of a hexagonal nut with rounded
edges. But take "hexagonal" with a grain of salt. I didn't count the
sides.
I read one piece of advice yesterday that very much caught my attention.
In a piece on how to control it someone said: "Whatever you do, do not
let it go to seed!"
