Hi Tiffany,

Just to clarify, that stuff  you called bamboo is really a reed grass called
Arundo donax, an extremely noxious, invasive exotic plant- NOT NATIVE to
California.  It displaces native stream plants and is the focus of some
great eradication programs.  Fortunately, in my county, we might be able to
get rid of the stuff before it gets much of foot hold.....
