Burdock is an invasive weed that produces massive leaves that somewhat resemble rhubarb. But it’s not rhubarb. Later in the fall, the plant shoots up a powerfully long and woody stalk. This stalk is covered in burrs holding all the seeds for next season. We have been trying to burn much of the pods, but I fear it’s a lost cause. Next year we will need to spray or otherwise kill them. They do add a nice texture to the fall landscape though.
