I need help to id an Emergent invasive aquatic weed and get rid of it.
Our little stream in Souderton, PA is choking with something I did not see in A Field Guide to
Common Aquatic
Plants of Pennsylvania. I can send you a photo from my iPhone. It was hand weeded for 3 days and has returned full force.

Answer
You can send photos by email to Ask A Gardener : askagardener@pennhort.org . Please also know that it is sometimes difficult to give a positive identification from a photo.
Please keep each image under 1 MB in size and include the following information for each photo (this information is adapted from instructions found on the University of Maryland Extension service web site)
- Growing conditions (full sun, part shade, shade, windy, salt spray, etc.)
Photos (jpg file less than 1MB and in focus)
- Tree and shrub photos should include a 12-24” branch with leaves, flowers, fruit or seed pods as well as a photo of entire plant, if possible.
- Flowers, weeds, and other herbaceous plant photos should show entire plant, preferably with flowers or seed heads.
- Descriptions should include size and source (if known) of plant; color, aroma, and time of flowering; fruit, cone, etc.
