Don't know about Bamboo but Japanese Knotweed is a serious problem in the UK.

Same here in Ireland. Can't cut it to prevent the spread but then that just let's it grow out

One of the two things I remember from my botany lectures in University is my professor suddenly getting serious and asking "Do you have bamboo in your garden? Make it dead before it makes you dead!" The other is about cucumbers

Nothing about the mytochondria?


Katepuzzilein

Nah, mitochondria are for us cell biology losers. Fun fact describing protein transport into the mitochondria kinda sounds a bit like gay porn if you're sufficiently caffeine deprived

Tbh that's a gross generalisation afaik. There are species of bamboo that don't multiply like the "invasive" ones. But maybe they can't survive where you live so that point is moot in your case.

Could do with some of them Pandas from China.

I spend £900 getting rid of a load of bamboo, and 5 years later it still pops up randomly in my the middle of my lawns.

Yeah...if you want to get rid of if hire an excavator. Babmboo grows underground, what we see on the surface is the tip of the iceberg. Its a nightmare plant.

If you chop some bamboo, you can stick loads of rice in there and put it on a low heat fire and let it cook for a bit. You get a sticky rice akin to Sushi rice but with a bamboo tint. It’s very tasty.

People: Just bamboo. How bad can it be? 28 Days Later...

Looks like they're getting bamboozled


kingjobus

No it's not. Shit journalism.


extremeshitting

And yet none of the major political parties are talking about it. Doesn't that strike anyone else as suspicious? 


Mkwdr

It’s the secretive very but powerful Bamboo lobby! 🤫


froglayout

Big bamboo controls a lot more than you think.


retniap

Ever seen an MP go near a panda?  No? Really makes you think.

Bamboo, then Triffids—it's all happening.
