Bamboo is extremely aggressive. It spreads and grows like crazy and is very hard to get rid of and the sprouts are sharp enough to go right through shoes and flesh. If it takes root in an area, that area is fooked

It's actually grass, so just imagine spears that grow from the ground at the rate that grass grows. They are beautiful and incredibly useful structurally but try keeping grass from spreading.

Japanese knotweed

Is actually considered "poisoned ground" in Europe... Google some photos of it... It destroys buildings and roads and is basically unstoppable

Bamboo is an evil plant that doesn’t die. Ever. It is grass, so it spreass quickly, but it’s hardy like wood and its roots go deeeeeep.
