Walter Reeves on Aug 13, 2012We called it coffeeweed when I was a kid. Douglas is correct that it's harmful to animals that eat it.Helpful Reply

PAMMIE on Aug 13, 2012We call it coffeeweed also on our farm. Many years ago my son was little and was riding on the farm with my Daddy in his truck. My son wanted to drive and Daddy told him not right now, my son was riding in the back of the truck. My Daddy looked in his mirror and my son was sticking his tongue out at him. Daddy stopped the truck, got out and got a coffeeweed and put an old fashion "whipping" on him. My son will tell you to this day, he has never stuck his tongue out again at anyone. I think of this story everytime I hear or see coffeeweeds.Helpful Reply

Kim S on Aug 14, 2012I actually think that they are a pretty attractive weed. From what I have read I need to pull the beans off it or I will have a mess on my hands next year.Helpful Reply
