Frilly, Yes, it's bamboo but I don't advise planting it unless you can find some that isn't invasive. I've heard there are some that aren't. It was already here when we bought the place 10 years ago. I've loved it and it was great to be able to cut my own plant stakes in my own yard. But it is starting to become a problem. It's jumped that fence and is trying to take over my garden. Very high matenence to try to keep it in bounds. We had some on both sides of that part of the yard, but I pulled up all that was on one side. I'm wishing now that I had pulled it all up. It looked to be newly planted when we moved in. I've heard that the only way to get rid of it once it's really established it's self is to move.
Yes, come visit anytime, I'll send you home with a load of plants. I've loaded lots of car trunks and truck beds and still have too many plants for one person to take care of.
