Oh man if it's American bamboo, that stuff is so invasive, I've seen it push up 4" thick asphalt and sprout thru it. I had a shop for awhile in an industrial area near the train tracks, I got the place cheap cause it was a dump, the bamboo took over a large part of the property, I had it cut back and controlled pretty good with some type of poison. I sold the place 8 years ago and I see it's taking over the property again. the new owner was using a dozer on it!!

We have a "japanese" bamboo here, terrible stuff.
local DEC doesn't even have a good solution, other
than injecting the rhizome with roundup while the plant
is flowering late summer.
if i cut or pull a bunch, it's interesting to put into
a fire pit! sounds like big popcorn as the cells
pop.
Well I called it american bamboo cause that's what someone told me it was, but I really don't know if that is correct?? it looks like bamboo and grows 8-10 feet tall and can grow 2 feet in a day or two!!!
