I will freely admit I know very little about plants, so I was curious about this comic. According to the Bureau of Land Management, In the broadest sense, it is any plant growing where it is not wanted. Weeds can be native or non-native, invasive or non invasive, and noxious or not noxious. Legally, a noxious weed is any plant designated by a Federal, State or county government as injurious to public health, agriculture, recreation, wildlife or property. (Sheley, Petroff, and Borman,1999) A noxious weed is also commonly defined as a plant that grows out of place and is “competitive, persistent, and pernicious.” (James, et al, 1991).
So apparently – any plant is a weed if you don’t like it there.

I’ve never been in Colorado. I never knew it was pretty much a desert?

The brush that grows heaviest around here trims into an excellent hedge.
