Is this Japanese knotwood? I sprayed it with graze on 90 a few weeks ago but I'd say it's only stunted. I'll hit it with round up soon. Thanks

I don't think it is. The leave of the Japanese Knotweed has a very distinctive shape. It is almost flat at the bottom.

Ya I'm not sure if it is either
The stems are too dark unless the grazon changed their colour

I think it might be hazel

No, look at the leaves they do not zig zag out from the stem but are side by side. The leaves are also that bit different.

On first glance, I'd have said yes though.

No idea what it actually is though.

Mmm, ye could be right and it's not knotweed. Came across this link and it might be helpful

If you want to get him started, put him in a headlock and force a handful of nuts into his mouth, he'll waste as much as he eats but it's worked for me after a few goes before. He should soon get a taste for them.

I've shown ye these guys before but sure an update wouldn't hurt!

Another one for you tanko! My Mini Noo, the Crossmolina Jupiter girl. She's going to be a powerful animal in a years time



KZH bull, will be training him this winter, was able to walk up to him & scratch him in the field even though he hasn't seen me in a month.




And Butt Butt, in the midst of heifers calves (L-R THZ bull, Coom Indurain bull & a crazyy Ulsan heifer)

High tide. Took the photo this evening, on the bank of the river Shannon out on the estuary. Very high tide today, highest of month. Water had dropped about 2 inches from high level when I took this. You can see the height the water is above the land, inside the bank.

It's a panoramic view so you have to pan across the screen to view full photo.
