Hi BJ,
If your unnamed one is somewhere around 10" to 12" tall, increases like a
weed, doesn't care what the weather's been like, and stops you dead in your
tracks when the late afternoon sun backlights it and turns it "cherry
red"... you can be pretty sure this is it.
I thinned my "clump" last year... gave away 3 large boxes of it and still
had to dump 2 boxes out in the woods. BTW, the ones out in the woods are
budding up!
