Abstract
The bamboo is a hardy, resilient, adaptive, and versatile plant that is rarely seen in most American gardens. It has been described as a “rapid spreader” and stigmatized as an invasive pest with the two bamboo species native to North America eradicated by early farmers, according to Barnhart (2021) of the American Bamboo Society, a society dedicated to promoting the beauty and utility of bamboo.
