Re: The truth behind the capabilities of running bamboo

Just thought of bring up some of her straight out lies. How do these sound?
1. You can't sell your house if there's bamboo on it.
Many people actually like having bamboos in their yard and it's not very hard to figure out how to eradicate bamboo as long as you either have common sense or have the ability to search the internet.
2. All sellers are selling bamboo to make a quick buck
Many people have a passion for growing bamboo and like to share it with others, often giving it away for free, or promoting the plant by sharing knowledge and experiences. A lot of sellers actually sell at a loss when you consider the investment put into growing multiple species.
3. She is an invasive bamboo specialist
lol You need to go to college and get a degree, and have hands on experience with something for many years to be a specialist in anything especially when you are trying to get people to contact you. A grudge and hatred doesn't make anyone a specialist.
4. Phyllostachys can grow in Hawaii and they don't allow it because it can grow too aggressive there
Don't know anything about that, but most sources point that temperate bamboos require a dormancy season to grow successfully
5. Bamboos can destroy wetlands and forests
Can she provide a picture of any species of bamboo surviving in a swamp. Also can it even survive under a dense canopy of trees? Most forests around here hardly let any light through and aureosulcata doesn't have the genetic potential to break a 60ft high canopy of deciduous trees and thrive.
6. Rhizomes must be taken to a burn center, as they are hazardous waste.
Dig out some rhizomes and let them sit in the sun for lets say a couple hours to dry out their roots and try to plant them. See if you can get viable divisions.
7. Bamboo is impossible to eradicate once it takes hold
lopper+lawnmower
8. You cant mow over mature yellow groove bamboo stumps
They can be mowed over easily if when they are lopped to soil lvl
9. Bamboo is evil
How can bamboo be evil when it produce 5X the amount of O2 as trees, can be use for construction/crafts or clothing, be a food source, save lives(earthquake; tornado), and reduce heating costs?
10. Everyone who speaks in support of bamboo or information on the internet about the positive aspects of bamboo are wrong. Somebody who has no exp with bamboo, has no credibility to say claim anything about bamboo, especially when it is against those that have grown bamboo 10, 20 yrs.
