It is a very impressive plant but does get invasive sometimes in
conservation areas.
In a garden, it is probably controllable and could be a conversation
piece?


The friend of ours who tried to 'control' it ended up in hospital, hence
Rupert's remark. It's very handsome but it's dangerous.

I see a niche for a new Channel 4 ACTION Gardening programme.
People will grow and try to control bamboos, japaneese knotweed, giant
hogweed,
horsetail, poison ivy, pyracantha and stinkhorn mushrooms without using
any chemicals or harming any animals, wimmin or racial minorities all
the while making fun of minor celebrities.


Sort of "I'm a Celebrity, Weed Me"?
