Wild mustard is a medium sized plant that grow agressively in fields and other unkept areas, including lawns.

It was introduced from Europe and has subsequently spread across the United States. It's easily identified in the spring by the bright yellow flowers.

The plant grows agressively and can overtake an area if not controlled. Because the plant has shallow roots, hand pulling it after a rain is the easiest way to remove it from unwanted areas.
