(Fallopia baldschuanica)

Russian Vine

Russian vine is another non-native invasive plant, meaning it out-competes crowds out beneficial native plants that have been naturally growing for many years.
 
Russian Vine is also known as Fallopia baldschuanica is an Asian species of flowering plant very similar to Japanese knotweed, with it being in the same Fallopia family of plants. It flowers in August and September and these flowers are also small and white, which is like Japanese Knotweed.

Russian Vine is also fast-growing and will choke anything that is growing in its path, meaning it will overtake your garden at an alarming rate.

 

 

However, the leaves of the Russian Vine differ to Japanese Knotweed, as the leaves are pointed nearly triangular, compared to the heart-shaped leaves of knotweed, which can grow up to lengths of about 10 centimetres.
