A Sacramento resident vented their frustrations on TikTok over a neighbor’s decade-old landscaping decision that continues to wreak havoc on their yard: planting bamboo. What may have seemed like an exotic touch to the yard has since spiraled into a nuisance, wreaking havoc on the resident’s native plant garden.
Jessie Dickson (@sacramentofoodforest) says it should be illegal to sell bamboo. At first glance, bamboo might seem like a cool, tropical addition to a garden, but it’s actually extremely invasive . Bamboo spreads underground through rhizomes , popping up where they’re not wanted — through fences, across property lines, even cracking concrete.
@sacramentofoodforest Replying to @enderbro3300 bamboo is one of the worst invasive species in America. And it should be illegal to sell bamboo because wherever it is planted it takes over. #invasivespecies #bamboo #invasive #landscaping #gardening101 #antigrasstok #lawntok #nativeplanttok #habitat #restoration #killyourlawn #decolonize #lawn #sustainability #greenwashing #climatechange ♬ Spooky music box bell horror BGM – Notzan ACT…
