In an unmaintained but disturbed plot of overgrowth. Industrial part of the city. Near old train tracks and among a mix of invasive species and natives.
Soil is on the sandier poorer side - but this lil guy is right near a ditch that cuts through and is frequently very sloppy/muddy and filled with larger marsh species like rushes (Juncaceae).
It's been cut back at least once, but now extends above 6 feet. Earlier this year it was under that height.
