  A weed is anything you don’t want in a particular area. Even the most hardcore people with wild gardens probably have a few plants that they definitely do not want.

  Like an entire yard of blackberries bushes, or giant hogweed which burns you if you touch it, or others which have noxious pollen, etc.

  A weed is just a plant that you didn’t plant.

    A weed is just a plant someone hasn’t figured out how to market it yet.

  Yes there is. Invasive species that have no natural checks are most definitely weeds.

  Consider Scottish thistle in Oregon. It literally locks off grazing and food for wild animals, and our climate and ecology does not provide any natural checks against it’s growth unlike it’s natural habitat.

  It’s a horrible, 6ft tall, 4-6ft wide sprout if hate that is wrecking wild lands and cultivated land alike.
