Paul got back to me very promptly and helped to put my mind at rest after discovering a potential patch of Japanese Knotweed. I also found the Phlorum website extremely useful, even finding a recipe for Japanese Knotweed crumble which, if my worst fears had been realised, I would have tried.

I took some pictures of a plant that I thought may be Japanese knotweed. Even though I live in the United States, Phlorum was happy to identify it for me. The Phlorum staff seem to be very concise, courteous, and professional, so that's why I'm giving them 5 stars.

I recently contacted Phlorum for help identifying what seemed to be Japanese Knotweed spreading from a neighboring yard. Paul responded to my inquiry the next business day (despite me being located in the US where I would be unable to give them any business). Very grateful for the fast & free ID service provided! Now off to prepare for battle with the JK...

I didn't know what the plant was on the other side of my garden wall, but it had grown to 13 feet when I took a good look and as far as I could see its leaves looked ominously like those of knotweed. My mind has been put at rest! Its odd-looking green fruit-thingies are those of a Cherry Laurel, which is poisonous, but doesn't undermine my garden wall, house or anything else. Much gratitude to Phlorum for the reassurance, which arrived very fast.

I had concerns that a relative's property had Knotweed growing in a couple of places, and emailed a picture to Phlorum.Within 10mins Paul had emailed back with an explanation of why the plant in question could not be knotweed, and even told me what he thought it could be.After a quick google image search, it turned out that Paul was entirely correct, and the plant was Himalayan honeysuckle!Mind very much put at ease, and the service - even though he knew I wasn't in need of their paid services - was exceptional

Anne Marie Kraus

Using a new phone app, I was shocked when it identified this "shrub" in my yard as Japanese knotweed.

Unfortunately, they gave me the bad news, but knowing is much better than not knowing, and I'm grateful for this free service.

Peter Corr

15:44 07 May 21

As a damp and timber surveyor it can be very disconcerting to have to report back to the client that there are strange growths emanating from the subfloor voids, particularly when the growth resembles Knotweed, but you cant quite be certain. I sent Phlorum a photo early morning, undertook an damp inspection and received a reply on my return, the very same day. Highly efficient and very reassuring. Thank you, Phlorum.

I contacted Phlorum with a photo of some suspected Japanese Knotweed in our garden. I received a reply the following day with a link to what it was - something very similar but not the dreaded JK thank goodness.

David Wilkinson

12:47 25 Aug 20

Having seen an article on a tv programme about Japanese Knotweed, we became a little concerned about a fast growing plant growing from a neighbours garden. Neither the neighbour or their gardener/handyman knew what it was. Research identified Phlorum as experts and having looked at their website, watched a video and followed advice, I took photos of the plant and submitted them on them on the website. Within an hour Richard from the company emailed with the identity of the plant ( grapevine variety ) which reassured us. Wonderful, prompt service and totally free.David Wilkinson, Ferring, West Sussex.

As invited on Phlorum’s website, I emailed to request an ID on a plant our current neighbours had added as a property line privacy enhancement ahead of my husband and I purchasing our home next to them. A year later, they were told they’d planted Japanese Knotweed. Paul responded to my initial inquiry within 24 hours with an accurate ID of Fleece Flower - a plant that is non-invasive and non-aggressive in its growing habits. We are very relieved to have confirmation that a major and possibly long-term knotweed removal strategy isn’t needed and impressed with the accurate and quick feedback received.

I have been told by estate agent that there a plant in my garden that looks like japanese knotweed. As I have no knowledge of it at all I found website on Internet and decided to send pictures. Even I could see (with help of Web page) that it's not what I been told, but professional opinion would be the best. Didn't expect response at all, but...Paul thank you so so much. You did made my day with an super fast respond and a best ever news. I was lucky this time.Thank you.

My property boundary has been engulfed by a rapid growing plant. I was concerned it was Japanese Knotweed. I tried to identify myself but was unable to be certain. When googling I cam across Phlorum, and used their free identification services. They identified it as Russian Vine, which was a relief to me and I'm grateful of their honesty . Excellent service and very quick to identify. I was signposted to their website with some useful information. many thanks.

Found these guys with a random google search trying to identify some weeds I have, concerned if it was knotweed. Mind you, I am in the US and they are almost directly north of Omaha beach! They are in Great Britain!No matter where we both are, I got an answer (it wasn't knotweed!) within 24 hours, and an interesting conversation as well.Nice job, helping out a Yank! Thank you Phlorum!! Well done, and I'll look you up next time I find myself over on your side of the pond and buy the staff a pint!

I found a plant that looked suspiciously like Japanese Knot Weed and I looked on the internet and found Phlorum. Their website was first rate and they offered a service whereby I could upload a picture of the offending plant and they would identify it for me.I did that and almost by return Paul had identified it as a close relation to JKW but was intact a non invasive cousin. Paul was so helpful, professional and fast that I got the issue sorted out in a matter of an hour.I would certainly recommend them to anyone

I had a very quick response from Paul about a concern about potential Japanese Knotweed, which thankfully it is not! So impressed by the speed and politeness.

With dread, I contacted Phlorum because I had found what I thought was a Japanese Knotweed in my garden. Immediate reply back (it wasn't Knotweed, phewww! It was a Judas Tree so nothing to worry about). To have such knowledge and to be willing to share is rare these days. Thank you so much.

So quick their photo service settled our minds next day. The dreaded Japanese knotweed had not infected grans garden. It also helped avoid a domestic as we all had our own opinions🤫
