Although I don't live in the UK, I sent pictures of a plant I found in the back yard of my newly-purchased home. I previously put pictures in various searches and turned up nothing but kept thinking it was knotweed from descriptions on the internet. I found the Phlorum site and sent them pictures of the plants in my garden and Paul responded within 24 hours confirming my fears. Even though I live in the US and even though the company does no work here, Paul advised on the best ways of getting rid of this blight. I find that very commendable of both him and the company to offer both confirmation and advise my plants! These are good people to work with!

Big thank you to Paul, for kindly taking the time (for free) and rather quickly to tell me what weed we had climbing up the house.

We recently discovered some suspicious shoots in our garden and we were worried it was the dreaded Japanese knotweed. We used the free service at Phlorum, sent three pictures and Paul very quickly got back to us, suggesting it might actually be coming from a bergenia (which we do have in our garden), rather than knotweed. It was such a relief and we can only recommend this service, it was superb, thanks Paul!

Excellent free service. Super quick reply - photos sent Saturday afternoon and Paul replied on Monday morning. I was relieved to know that the plants were probably brambles and not JapeneseKnotweed of a property I am purchasing

Used the email link on this website to send a plant photo and request for plant identification. The very next day, I received a response which included the name of my plant. Fast response! The response actually saved the life of my plant as I thought it might be invasive (which it is not) . Prior to my email, I had had shovel in hand ready to dig out plant and remove. Thanks to quick response, the shovel has been returned to the shed.Thank you!

Found a roadside plant very similar to Japanese Knotweed but couldn't identify it. Turned to Phlorum for help and had a quick informative reply from Paul. Told it was Himalayan Knotweed which is also invasive, not yet notifiable but suggested recording it anyway. Luckily I don't need their services further but I see they offer a full consultation service. Thanks for your help!

What a superb free online service from Phlorum. I recently had aplant growing in my garden identified by Paul . His prompt reply to my query with the reassuring news that it was not the dreaded Japanese knotweed as I had feared, but shoots from the wide spreading roots of recently felled poplar trees, was much appreciated . Thanks Paul, it is so generous of you to share your knowledge online free of charge

I was concerned about the identification of possible Japanese Knotweed in my garden. I sent in some photos to take advantage of your free visual assessment and received a very speedy response which was negative to JK. I was told what my photos actually showed and being ever the pessimist I looked it up on the web and it was 100% accurate. So - correct identification, very quickly, for free - I'm happy.

I contacted Paul at Phlorum as I was very concerned about a plant that appeared on my property that looked very much like Japanese Knotweed. I sent a photo and got a reply back immediately telling me that it wasn't Knotweed and he even told me what the plant was. An excellent service from a company that I thoroughly recommend.

I am a Residential Surveyor operating in Surrey and obviously Japanese Knotweed is a 'hot topic' in my field of work. Though I have studied a number of pictures on the subject, identifying it in the field is more challenging so being able to run a photo past Paul at Phlorum was invaluable. This was the first time I had contacted Paul and I saw from comments on the website that he was responsive and very prompt. He didn't disappoint.
