In our area, we call it Japanese Bamboo, our more commonly just
bamboo. It's so hard to get rid of it. It grows right back after
pulling or flattening. Did this plant overpopulate in Japan?

Do you know the scientific name thereof?


Fallopia japonica or Reynoutria japonica

A very fast spreading weed in central Europe too.
