You are correct.
Ruderalis is squat and spindly.
And from that top photo, someone already snatched the terminal "bud"

The hemp plant is very tall and mostly stalk.
Grown for the longest possible fibers.

I'd rake the soil under that bush looking for seeds.
Wait for the appropriate time, and go guerrilla with it.
Then you'll have flowers.

Dunno why, but your little adventure had me smilin' all night.

Warm aloha to you.

Plus Chinese internet doesn't make ANYTHING easy!!! Please move to wherever you see fit!) Feeling very lucky to be involved with a like minded and equally passionate gathering of people! But on to more serious matters ... I found wild plants and need a little help! Okay, I live and work in China as an English teacher with my partner. I live in the south in a small school about 40 minutes walk Rating: 5
