Identify this plant

10 years ago

This plant appeared about 3 months ago and it sprouted very tall. I had thrown wild flower seeds out over a year ago so I assumed it was a wild flower... It's about 9-10' tall now and it seems to have started to growing little bunches at the ends that I hope to maybe sprout as flowers. Does anyone know what this might be?

Mare's tail, or horseweed. I recommend that you pull it up before it flowers, or you will have many, many more plants next year.

Thanks for the help, everybody. I reposted this thread with pictures of the flowers in the Name this Plant forum. I'm sorry the pictures aren't ideal. This plant is somehow hard to capture with a phone camera. Here's the new thread: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/discussions/3251535/m=23/please-help-id-this-plant-coffee-plant
