There is a large patch of Japanese knotweed in the backyard of the house we moved into last fall (we are renting). Snow is gone, things are starting to sprout, and I’m noticing new shoots like 30 feet away in the yard. I know it’s not under my control whatsoever, but what are the best actions I can take as a tenant? We’re back there every day with the dogs. Do I pluck the new leaves so it can’t photosynthesize or will disturbing it stimulate new growth? Is there anything I can do to help prevent spread?
