Oh no...at my homeplace my grandfather planted bamboo on other side of lake dam.Less than 10 years ago someone dumped a load of Bamboo beside the road in a creek bottom. (Why do ilegal dumpers favor creeks where they know floods will spread the mess?) Whereas there had never been bamboo in the area,it has now spread 3 miles down road in both directions and down stream over 5 miles as evidenced where other roads cross the creek.
Let's not get carried away and shoot all the dogs,some plants are beneficial to eco system even if they are a nuisance in crops, yards and gardens.Oh no...at my homeplace my grandfather planted bamboo on other side of lake dam.
It's spread acres around. Bamboo is a type of grass I understand.
I'll add horrific plants here in Virginia also: privit, honeysuckle, fox grape, multiflora rose, Japanese stiltgrass, ivy, poison ivy, johnson grass, crabgrass, kudzu, sumac, stinging nettle, devil's pitchfork.
Other's also.
