Ok #plantID folks, is this #horseweed, tarragon, or something else? Apparently horseweed kind of tastes like tarragon, so even if I were willing to eat it, that may not help. https://foragingguru.com/erigeron-canadensis/ PlantNet isn't giving me a probability over 50% for either, but I'm leaning towards horseweed since it's growing in a crack in the sidewalk. iNaturalist seems to favor horseweed.
Web searches yield no results for distinguishing the two plants. Am I the only idiot who can't tell the difference?
@skyfaller I see in your pictures that your plant has hairs and serrated leaves. This is my tarragon plant. It has no hairs in the stem or in the leaves, and none of the leaves are serrated. As the other person said, the habit is more delicate /crawly.
@acm_redfox PlantNet is 91% sure this is tarragon now, so even though logic and reason rebel against the thought, I find it impossible to dismiss entirely.
@ryanroat It's possible that some varieties of tarragon have fuzzy stems and some don't? That's what I see in pictures from PlantNet. Wikipedia neglects to describe the stem.
