Can anyone identify this plant please?

[Triflenot]

It’s quite tall, and the leaves are quite rhubarb like.

Weed?

Burdock?

Hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like Burdock. You can-tell which burdock when it flowers. That’s a big and healthy specimen!

I did the plant identifier app on this, I think it said lettuce family. Its a weed though.

Yep, a burdock

Burdock is in the lettuce family. But so are a lot of things - thistles, dahlias, Cosmos, daisies … nearly 25000 species

Yes it's burdock. If you've got pets get rid of it before it fruits. The prickly seedheads are impossible to get out of animal fur.

Thanks very much everyone. I’ll dig it up. It looks like the root is edible, has anyone tried it?

My bloke's mum talks of digging then up when she was a child playing on the local riverbanks. I think she said they tasted nutty. I think their seed heads inspired the inventor of velcro.

Just thought though, as one of the plants name checked in Dandelion and Burdock, perhaps they taste of aniseed.

I’ve tried what is sold as edible burdock, which appears to be a cultivated variety of Arctium lappa (don’t know whether yours is Arctium lappa or Arctium minus). It’s like a more refined parsnip.

Maybe I’ll try it!
