Was going to ask - would probably need to be southern hemisphere to be canola. Horseradish makes more sense to me - looks pretty similar leaf-wise to canola, and now might be more like harvest time.

Does not look like any horseradish I've ever seen.Tias posted:Well in Denmark we grow a great deal of raps, the local european canola - but are we not too late in the year for it to be in the start of its life cycle? I know nothing about growing in Denmark, but I do know that lots of the euro gardeners I follow will grow winter plantings of brassicas. Like, it could be some other plant from that family, and there's not really any way to tell until the plant matures more, but the planting density looks more like how I see canola/rape grow. It's way way too closely planted for it any of the head-forming varieties. I'm totally confident in saying is that it's a brassica of some sort. I'm guessing with a high degree of certainty from experience as a grower and observer that it's not a head-forming crop, and with a lower degree of certainty that it's not a stem-forming crop like kholrabi or swede. Process of elimination leaves us with mustard greens, a flat kale, or canola/rape.

Seek says it’s an M. tripetala/Umbrella Magnolia. Native to the Eastern US

I was gonna say it's not a bigleaf magnolia because MA is way north of it's native range, but apparently there is one (or some) growing at the Arnold Arboretum in Boston. The leaves in that pic look a little more like umbrella magnolia-I don't think of Bigleaf magnolia's leaves as being quite so organized on branch tips. Bigleaf magnolias have bigger leaves than umbrella magnolias, but that's kind of hard to tell without two of them side by side and would vary by individuals/growing conditions as well.

cool! this was in a park near new hampshire, there were a bunch of other things like bushes that looked like they were the sorts you'd see decorating outside office buildings, but...in the wild. there was also the ever-encroaching scourge of oriental bittersweet choking absolutely everything. it's so sad.

Check with your local park rangers, a lot of places host volunteer events and/or train laypeople to beat back invasives in public areas.

At ~7 years in the ground (planted from a 3gal container), 5" DBH, and ~20' tall MY BIGLEAF MAGNOLIA is blooming for the first time this year:  I'll try to remember to takes pics as it opens over the next few days. They don't smell quite as good as M. grandiflora but still a nice smelling flower. Some tree pics for comparison-just overall to me looks a little shaggier and less neatly organized than the pics of umbrella magnolias.

Yeah I border a forest that is choked with the poo poo, so there is ZERO hope of me ever getting rid of it for good.
