I have seen many species of ornimiental grass. But
this one house I pass often has tall thickets of grass
about 10 feet tall, already!! And I know they wack it
down to the ground in the fall.
What is this or something like it?? Also does it
spread as invasivly as bamboo or not so bad??

The really tall grass is probably Hardy Pampas Grass, which was until
recently known as something spelled very similar to "Ravena erianthus."
It's been reclassified, but I can't remember the new name. Maybe Margaret L
would know?
The individual clump that a person plants gets bigger around every year, but
I don't knew if it spreads problematically.
A house I go by most days has Huge clumps of Hardy Pampas Grass which were
already growing there before I moved nearby 11 years ago.
You ask if it spreads as bad as bamboo. I don't think so, but hardly
anything is THAT bad, just houtuynia cordata and burmuda grass. :((

This is the subject that got me onto the phragmites thing this morning. I
wonder if this person has it or canary reed grass in the yard.

maybe it IS bamboo, haha???? OK -- maybe it's Pampas grass? Hardy where you
are?? Don't know. There's a Miscanthus species that gets high -- esp when
it's in flower...
Other than that, don't know what it could be...

Maybe a picture would help. Ill try to get one
tomarrow if I do leave to late for work. Meaning if
there is still sun light out for a picture. I havn't
deciced what time I will grace them with my presence
yet. :)
And Karen. Something about Japanese and weed, all in
the same title scares me a bit. In the back of the
house there is maybe 5 feet before the laundry line. I
dont realy want to start a fight between the plant and
the laundry nor between my back neigbhor that walkes
his dog hourly and barely says HI. But in this
instance it seems he is strange enough that good
fences will make good neigbhors.
