“The lore about the arundo is that it can grow up to 10 inches a day, resprout from roots buried 9 feet deep, and burrow under roadways to infest neighboring fields. It’s nearly impossible to get rid of once established in some states. California has spent more than $70 million on eradication programs over the past two decade.”

Seems ironic to me that California has a history of “green” yet the state has been trying to get rid of the “miracle plant” to the tune of $70 million. All the while touting how we need to be independent of fossil fuel(s). Hmmm……..
