With all due respect, that view is overblown hysteria. Well said. Indeed, it is the worst kind of scaremongering and is to be deplored on this public newsgroup. Meanwhile as part of Asian week Lidl in The Netherlands is selling cheap pots of bamboo plants. Think of the problems that is going to cause. None? There are no bamboos that are more than mildly invasive outside the very warmest parts of the UK (and the Netherlands is similar to the south-east). Furthermore, they have to compete with 11,000 years of plant immigration, and the survival of the most thuggish. In the UK, Japanese knotweed is the ONLY vascular land plant that has made itself an ecological or otherwise serious nuisance over the majority of the country. And there are under a dozen that are a serious nuisance in even a few parts of the UK. Out of God alone knows how many thousand introductions. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
