GROWING CAIN

<< < (2/3) > >>

Hillbilly:
Cacatch, native cane will spread to an extent and form a "canebrake", but nothing like most of the Asian bamboos. Some patches that I have transplanted on streambanks while doing native plant restoration work have probably doubled in size or so in ten years. It's a lot easier to get rid of than most bamboos too-one reason that it is scarce now in much of its former range. Many of the streams around here have cane growing along the creekbanks, but it doesn't seem to spread at all into the cultivated fields-it usually stays between the cornfield and the creek.

Cacatch:
Gotcha Hillbilly. And thanks for the answers. Doesn't sound like an issue then. In fact, sounds like a good thing to restore some of it to this area of the state.

Just curious, how did you get to know so much about vegetation? I wish I knew half what you do.

I would sure like to give it a try too.... but I killed the batch of Arrow Boo that Mullet sent Me....dont know what I did wrong....but it's dead a can be...... ;D

Hillbilly:
Cacatch, a combination of growing up running around in the woods on a Southern Appalachian subsistance farm where the family got a lot of their food, medicine, and materials from the woods; and also school. I work as a horticulturist/GIS mapper for the state, specialize in native plants.

Cacatch:
Well right on.   :)    I think sometimes I should have studied horticulture in college, but I never could handle science classes and labs. 

Thanks
