I've chopped it down, but I'm dying of curiosity. Any I.D.?

Pretty sure that's ragweed, Ambrosia artemisiifolia.

I think you're right. I've never seen one up close, and now I'm glad I killed it. Thanks!

I burned it, along with some other weeds. Instant potassium supplement for my banana tree.

I use the ashes from the fireplace since all we burn are dead trees from our property which are all organic it does work well makes everything turn super green with just a small amount spread before a good rain work wonders
