There are billions of people and a version of normal to go along with each one of them. No two versions are exactly the same. There will be hundreds of thousands of little things that make up your version of normal. With any luck you can find people that have close to the same idea of what normal is that you do. These are your friends. Anyone else you try to tolerate as best you can.
....
The exact definition of normal depends on who's running the asylum.
John - Wikipedia says subtropical but also mentions an altitude of up to 6600 feet. Subtropical height can be limited to 60 feet. I just assumed it spread like other bamboo but they say it grows in clumps. It's not much of an investment as an experiment. $8.68 for 100 shoots on Amazon.
Deb - This was the first I'd heard of it too.
Kathy - Have you been on any of the search and destroy missions for honeysuckle? I've been on a couple of them.

I am grateful not to have a HOA - but won't be planting invasive bamboo any time soon.
ReplyDeleteSue - You mean you would miss out on a 100 foot stick?
ReplyDeleteGives new meaning to the term "stick it to the man."
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteBill - With a great big stick.
ReplyDeletePeg - You could fill your front yard with these.
I wonder if it grows outside of the tropics.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know that bamboo could grow that big!
ReplyDeleteEven if it grew here I'm more of a fan of native plants.
ReplyDeleteBamboo on growth hormone therapy?

Shaw - Radioactive steroids.
Wow! Cool! But I can't help thinking, what if you used your genius for good instead of making trouble? Lol. Love it, Mike
ReplyDeleteJust think what the Professor on Gilligan's Island could have done with all that bamboo.
ReplyDeleteCloudia - I think about that and get back to you.
ReplyDeleteKirk - He could have built an ocean liner.
