    What's bamboo doing in there?

    It's invasive as hell & pops up everywhere. There's some small variety of black bamboo in a ditch down the street from me.

    We have swaths of bamboo here as well. The stuff is tough as nails and hard as heck to truly eradicate. Plus it spreads like kudzu almost...

    I can't tell from the pictures but is it our native bamboo? I see a fair amount of it along the rivers around here.

    I've seen that bamboo in a lot of areas including national parks and preserves here in the mid lands 

    We have two native canes (bamboos) that grow in our floodplains.

    Arundinaria gigantea I assume? We have that is spades up here too. The other is an appalachian (Arundinaria appalachiana) variety that doesnt come that far into the piedmont and Im not sure we have native strands here but I wouldnt be surprised as bamboo is pretty common. Arundinaria tecta is the third that Im pretty sure we have as well but not 100%, alot of bamboo is invasive transplants in my humble opinion but then again Im no expert.
