It’s recommended to use leaves closer to the base of the plant when identifying dock species, as higher leaves aren’t always a distinctive shape.
Clustered dock is a perennial weed, known to survive in regularly mown lawns by producing small leaves.
Control
The active ingredients triclopyr and picloram in a mix (Victory Gold, Triumph Gold, Tordon Gold or Conquest) will provide good control. This is best applied during spring when the plant is actively growing.
