Wild stuff. I had no idea it was so common down here. That’s really unfortunate.

yea I spoke to our consulting forester about it He said he’s seen some horrible patches! I believe it spreads through the roots - so it’s very hard to get rid of. A buddy of mine had some in his yard. It kept popping up in the yard away from where it was planted. Even after herbicide termination.

I could be off on above as I have no experience with it directly.

We have a large patch of that on the Athens farm I hunt. If we could only convince deer hunters that addressing these invasive are for the good of all wildlife...
Those vines can grow up the 18” in a day! It’ll envelope and choke out most of the trees in a woods.

This patch was introduced back in the early 1900s. For the goats that are long gone. So think about that before planting stuff for animals.

Not sure what you are talking about? An invasive grass? If so its probably Reed Canary Grass.

As for the bamboo, highly invasive as others have stated and starting to show itself all over Southern Ohio. It's a no go.
It’s the small bamboo looking reeds found in wet low lying areas and along creeks Seth. You can squeeze water droplets out of each section after pulling them apart. It’s called Horsetail.

Yeah, good luck on that. There's still hunters out there promoting invasives for wildlife. Im pretty disgusted with the hunting populous over their lack of actually doing anything positive for the environment rather then trying to kill limits.
