In summer, the waxy green shoots of Mare's tail develop into fir tree like plants that can grow up to 60 cm high.
In spring, Mare's tail (also known as horsetail) will have light brown stems that look similar to asparagus, and can grow to approximately 20-50 cm high. They have small cones atop which produce spores.
Mare's tail is a perennial that will return every year if not controlled appropriately. It has deep roots and is very invasive. Infestation may appear as a result of distribution of spores by the wind, or from the large rhizomes the plant has that spread to neighbouring land.
Though it prefers damper conditions, Mare's tail can be found in wasteland, gardens, paths, walls and patios.
