Question
Hi there - I'm trying to locate nettles on my property (in MA). This plant seems to come close to the description, but it does not sting. Could you please tell me what type of plant it is? Thank you very much! - Lane
Answer
Dear lane, your image is likely a species of Solidago (goldenrod). Look for stinging nettles in river floodplains and terraces, it is certainly one of the preferred locations for this species in New England. Best wishes.
