Bamboo, It's Complicated


The house we live in was overrun with bamboo when we first moved in. It cost more than a few dollars to get it back under control; after all, it had essentially been untended since the 1950s, when I guess it was trendy to have bamboo in your yard. It's an invasive species, that, along with kudzu, has done pretty well in the Deep South. My father had bamboo in the yard of one of our houses and it almost got him into a lawsuit. The 'boo pictured here was seen near Nashville, TN.
