| When I bought my home there was a small patch of a yellow, reed-like plant that grows to be about 4 ft. Due to my inattention and failure to appreciate how invasive it is, it has now overtaken a considerable part of my garden, ~0.15 acre. Does anyone recognize this plant? Someone told me that it was a species of bamboo. It is difficult to envision digging up the whole affected area. I would be willing to use an herbicide, but have fruit trees in the area. For the time being I just mow it.  |

DaisyI said:Or Kuma Sasa (Sasa veitchii) They do look a great deal like either Pleioblastus or Shibataea Kumasaca. The leaves are variegated yellow-green, die back in the Winter, and seem to me to be fast spreaders. I've never seen the plant in any nursery or garden back East.  |
