Neighbour thinks they have Japanese knotweed
Our neighbour at the back came over tonight saying they think they have found Japanese knotweed and wanting to look in our garden. We have a large honeysuckle growing across the fence (the other side of what you can see in this photo), and no sign of any shoots or anything or our side. We have lived here 8 years and never seen anything.
Am I overly optimistic that this is a misidentification? It seems odd that it would suddenly appear out of nowhere. The neighbour to the right in this photo has entirely paved garden so no evidence of it either.
Very much appreciate any expertise! We are hoping to sell in the next few years so the timing is terrible.
