Is it bamboo or knotweed?

Kudzu is hell. That is a battle you can’t win without fighting every day for quite a while.

An old buddy of mine spent 30 years fighting it back up the mountain behind his house. He died in 2020 and his house is draped in kudzu today.

    It's bamboo common here in rural Japan. We have two types, one of which has edible shoots in the spring so there's that at least. It does hold the ground together along the riverbank so I never plan on fully ripping it up; last thing I need is for a chunk of my property to slide off in the next big quake.
