Do any pokeweeds become trees? I actually cannot identify any of the trees on the property. Yew (yuck), yes. There must be ten of those. I need a pine!
I have sort of said that to myself about ever moving from here. I suppose moving is like labor - you forget how painful it is.
My current home is my 27th address and the first that I ever owned... I wish to forget about moving.
The pokeweed family grow very fast, are giant overgrown weeds and wreck fences and house foundations. Get it reliably identified and if it is one, removing it is your first task. I had a huge ombu tree (Phytolacca dioica) in my yard which cost me thousands and took years to finally get rid of.
You could also post closeups of the leaves, flowers, bark and that base and I'll tell you what I think
Oh dear I hope not then. It's very pretty. I'll take some shots later today.
