Plants that look like weed???

[Majikoopa]

Does anybody know of any good "decoy plants" that look a lot like marijuana? I attached a picture of a Japanese maple leaf, but that might not work. My idea is that you can grow some weed in a patch of plants that look similar enough to disguise the herb in a garden. Any ideas of plants that look like herb?

Wow. Thats pretty spot on. If I grow a bunch of those, I can definitely get away with one weed plant!

I know the jap maple have fooled me for a second or two seeing pics online. I was like, "Why are his leaves so bright RED?!..........oh." The only thing is that its a tree, so it would take a long time to grow, and would require training to look how you want, but if you know anything about bonsai, its deff possible. But growing a jap maple the size of a decoy would prob take more time than you want.

That's true. I used to do bonsai some years back, so I could try it however. In the mean time, the other two plants should suffice.

Thanks everybody for the input!

Jap maples are pretty expensive. I'd go with bamboo or even castor bean plants, Here's a link to a pic if you wanna take a look.

Wow. I'm going to have a whole garden of crazy weed-decoys at this rate! Good idea on the castor beans. Just what is a castor bean? Can you eat it?

 

[Lil Czr]

No, they are pretty toxic. I wouldn't try to eat them. Where I'm from they are also called "Mole Beans" because the keep moles out of your garden. I think the seeds of this plant are also used to extract Castor Oil from.
