<p class="MsoNormal">I have treated it in Rock Creek Park (DC side), around the park police horse stables/community garden off of Oregon Ave. that was at least 10 yrs ago, and I had checked for a few years after treatment but haven’t seen the area in the
last 5-7yrs to know if it has rebounded at all or if it gave up the fight. <u></u>
<u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I believe it is also called “Five Leaved Aralia” and what I treated looked exactly like what you have in the pics. Medium sized, multi stemmed shrub 5-8 ft. tall (generally) and small very sharp thorns on the stems (at/near the base of
the leaves). <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is one of the only places that I have seen it in the DC, Md, Northern VA area however, hopefully it is not more wide spread than we realize.

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for the heads up on the Baltimore County sighting, we will keep our eye out.
