    Hi everybody. First I wanted to say that this place is wonderful. Glad to be a part of it.
    This is a plant I've had for along time and have no clue. I've been told it's cane, bamboo, or corn. It has BIG yam like roots and very hard to control. Towards the end of the year it gets big tassel like tops. Grows over 20 feet high. The third pic shows the tassel tops(left hand side of pic). When fall rolls around it all turns yellow and starts loosing it's leaves. Thank you

    Thanks so much. That is it exactly. As you can see it doesn't seem to mind the flooding like the link said. Thanks again.

    Your welcome. I have some planted among some rocks and that seems to keep it from spreading too much.

    RonB must be on vacation as I got to answer 2 posts in the plant id forum :)
