In our area, we call it Japanese Bamboo, our more commonly just
"bamboo." It's so hard to get rid of it. It grows right back after
pulling or flattening. Did this plant overpopulate in Japan?

It seemed like this newsgroup would have people all over North America
that would see this weed at home or in their travels to tell me.
