AKA Ornamental Bamboo or Mexican Bamboo, this is one nasty invasive plant! A large (and ever-expanding) patch of it is growing on the farm property. Burning it down only seemed to fertilize it, and pulling it out was followed by rapid re-growth. Digging it out is not an option, since the roots can go down 9 feet or more.

So I'm going to try an organic solution on it soon that involves using vinegar and lemon juice. I'll post the results of this latest assault against it here. Keeping my fingers crossed...
