I’m well aware of the problem but thankfully, never had to deal with it myself. I did wrestle some mean blackberry vines when I lived in western NC though. (There are bamboo varieties that don’t run and spread around but you may already know that.) Are you dealing with it now?

Very nice…a favorite plant…I hope you do more.

Thanks Lynn. Have you ever tried to thin out or eliminate unwanted bamboo in the backyard? No fun, is it?

Fortunately, no. I just remember helping out an acquaintance years ago who was trying to clear her yard of bamboo.
