*laughs.* yes, that's another really invasive plant. Back home, we can spend years trying to get rid of clumps of bamboo. You practically have to burn the things out, which can be dangerous in itself as the stalks are hollow and jointed. A lot of times, burning them causes a series of explosions. And if even a twig gets forgotten on the ground, and it has a living joint, the thing takes root and you have yet another plant. They're lovely plants when kept under strict control, though.
