Does anyone know what kind of plant this is? It started growing in my drive way a few weeks ago. Now it's about 8 feet tall.

Careful op. That plant is trying to break into your garage. The moment you lose sight of it it's going to run away.
groot needs to get a haircut god damn
what state you live in?
try checking with /plant/ general
my only guess so far is royal empress tree, but leaves don't match exact shape
Thanks for the feedback. This is in southern California.

Is this shit B roll for the new jumanji movie?
>>2145580
The leaves resemble a orange tree or some kind if fruit tree.
>>2145645
Those leaves are way too large for any kind of fruit tree.
My guess is tree tobacco.
>>2145580
I find this very amusing op.
Take more pictures
>>2145645
are you retarded?
>>2146234
This. OP, does it break easily and have a distinct smell?
>>2145580
Looks like a philodendron, or a alocasia? I would check those families of plant, do you store garbage cans on that side, or have bird feeders near that side of the garage?
>>2145642
No trash cans or bird feeders nearby. Breaks pretty easily but no noticeable smell. Here's what if looked like 4 weeks ago.

Looks like a wild tobacco plant.
If it is, careful handling it with you naked hands, some tobacco plants have such extremely high nicotine levels that just handling the leaves can lead to nicotine overdose, which isn't a lot of fun.
Is alien plant kill?
Does anybody think this might be a giant sunflower?

Well if op doesn't respond soon I'm going to assume that the plant assimilated both op and his house.
fuckin awesome, just let it grow and take the seeds or propagaters if it makes sum, ya dingus
OP here. I'm watching the house for my mom who bought it but hasn't moved in yet. I stop by every week to check up on the place for her. I'll be by there again on Tuesday. If there are any new developments, I'll post them in the thread.

Its a triffid.
Day 23. I don't think they are wise yet to my plans to invade the garage.
I'm checking on the house today. I'll post an updated picture of the mystery plant in a few minutes.
why the fucking shit did you just allow this thing to grow in front of your garage like that
Here's what it looks like today. Still growing. No sunflower yet. How can tell if this is tobacco? Light it on fire?

>>2151460

Looks like Colocasia only not. The one giant stalk is confusing.
>>2151460
I've never seen any sunflower like that.
Whatever it is, it looks like that plant is up to no good.
