Can anyone identify this plant . Found behind my shed this afternoon. Is it Japanese knotweed.

[wildwillow]

Not japanese knotweed. hard to tell without leaves. Thought it might be ash as it seeds very easily but can't see the black buds.

Cut to ground level or below and keep cutting it until it disappears altogether.

Have a photo of the last remaining leaf.

It might be Mugwort, Artemisia vulgaris, but I have a suspicion that this is Ragweed, Ambrosia artemisifolia, a North American plant. You do not want this in your garden; it produces more pollen than any other plant, but this is not a good thing, it causes serious problems for anyone with allergy/respiratory issues. Get rid before it flowers.

Feverfew ?
