[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t we have have bigger problems than invasive garden plants? [/quote] Isn't global warming a big issue? Invasive plants like bamboo and ivy kill many trees that combat global warming. [/quote] Bamboo doesn't kill trees. Kudzu does, and is far worse of a problem than English Ivy.[/quote] False. If bamboo gets out of control and spreads like wildfire (which it often does) it can invade native plants' root systems, eventually choking off trees from water and nutrients they need to live. Bamboo can make it very difficult to propagate more trees as well, because not only will bamboo crowd out native plants like trees, the rhizomes of a single bamboo plant can spread as far as 30 feet in diameter, which which takeaway valuable water and nutrients from new trees that make it difficult for them to grow.
