It is a highly invasive, toxic weed. I spent two summers pulling it out by the trash bag full from the roadside of our property. It pushed out my daisies and brown-eyed susans.

We can see three pictures. Some non woody perennials get trunk-like stems. Kale or Aeonium being two common examples. Have you ever cut one of these down? If so what did it look like inside? Another unknown is the geographical location of this plant.
