In china, bamboo is a symbol of manhood, a ration of national treasure, and a multi-billion-class rich industry。
The clouds of the ancients: they are more likely to eat without flesh, than to live without fire. In our eyes, bamboo is pure, tenacious and full of treasures, greening, using material, generating income and securing the slopes of solid soil。
But a lot of people don't know, the same bamboo, went straight to america to "change."
Many states and territories in the united states have explicitly regulated and prohibited private cultivation and face not only forced eradication but also high fines if they fail to do so。
Many wonder: what is so terrible about the beautiful bamboo
The truth subverts the perception that the americans have forbidden the planting of bamboo, not to make a big deal of it, but to eat too much of it, and that its hidden destructive power is many times greater than the horror we see in our eyes
First, not all bamboo is banned, but only for the bad guy
First of all, there is an error: the united states does not prohibit all bamboo varieties。
There are two categories of bamboo and fate is different:
The first is a pile of bamboo that is grown in groups, has a fixed roots, is manageable in range, is long and mild and does not spread around, and is normally grown in the united states。
The second is the “dangerous bamboo” that is prioritized by the united states and which prohibits private species. The most common kinds of mackerel and light bamboo in our forests fall into this category。
It appears that the ground is green and green, but the ground is full of “extension machines”, which is at the heart of america's defense。
Ii. Extremely fast, growing demons in the plant world
The growth rate of bamboo is virtually non-existent in the plant world。
The peak period can grow by more than 10 centimetres a day, and in just one or two months, it can grow into a masonry. They are fast and thick, covering the wind and seizing all their resources。
In private courtyards and residential areas in the united states, this extreme growth is a great disaster。
In a short period of one or two years, bamboo covers the entire courtyard, covering the entire house with light, suppressing the green growth of the surrounding flowers, killing all of their homes, neighbours' lawns and flowers, and seriously damaging the garden ecology。
The most desperate thing is that the bamboo visible on the ground is just the tip of the iceberg, the real power of destruction, hidden underground
Three: underground whips are nightmares
The most terrible place to spread the bamboo is not the height, but the lashes of the ground。
The bamboo roots spread horizontally, spread out several metres a year, with extreme penetration, and are described as “drilling machines” in the plant world:
(a) the ease with which the tar surfaces, concrete floors are lifted and the flat surfaces are fractured
(b) intruding into the small cracks in the foundations of the house, expanding and growing, breaking walls, destroying foundations and threatening the safety of the house
Blocking of sewers, entanglement of underground pipelines and crushing of cable pipelines frequently causing municipal breakdowns
Without being blocked by walls or fences, they enter the courtyards of their neighbours and take their root everywhere。
In the united states, countless inhabitants suffer. A piece of bamboo was planted from home, and a few years later the entire neighbourhood was covered with bamboo whips, which could not be removed or cleaned, the houses were broken, the roads broke, the pipes blocked, and maintenance costs were in the order of tens of millions of dollars。
Neighborship disputes and litigation cases due to the cross-border movement of bamboo are numerous, and even the exclusive domain of the united states bar circle — the bamboo legal dispute — was born。
Iv. Unbridled invasion, crushing the native ecology
In china, bamboo is warm and controlled because it grows for thousands of years at home, with complete ecological checks and balances: pests, fungi, climate, competition of indigenous plants, layers of constraints, which do not spread indiscriminately。
Once introduced into the united states, bamboo became an invasive alien species with no natural enemies and no ecological constraints。
The super-high growth rate, the hegemonic root system's ability to expand has left the united states native plants, bushes and trees totally uncompetitive. Where bamboo arrives, native plants are covered with light, water and fat, gradually dying and dying, seriously damaging local biodiversity。
Once it has taken root, the bamboo forest quickly monopolizes the entire land and forms a single vegetation community with irreversible ecological damage。
V. Clean-up is extremely difficult and easily eradicated
A lot of people think that bamboo is pouring out and cutting it off。
The great error is that the bamboo will not be cut off from the whip, and the year after that will be filled。
Only the earth has been cut off, and the vast underground bamboo whip network is intact, and the spring rains are taking place in the next year。
To be completely eradicated, it is necessary to dig a few metres deep, to clean up all the underground roots, and to spend a great deal of human and financial resources on them, which the ordinary family simply cannot handle。
It is because of the rapid growth, destructive power, aggressiveness and extreme difficulty of eradication that several states and territories in the united states have taken a one-size-fits-all approach: to ban the private planting of bamboo, and to eliminate the risks from the source。
At the end
It finally became clear that it was not the bamboo itself that was good and bad, but the environment and regulation that determined its pros and cons。
Enlightenment is it, and so is he. It's a hundred billion dollars of wealth, and it's an ecological disaster。
The wisdom of the ancients has to be admired, and a thousand years of bamboo, with bamboo, with bamboo, with bamboo, with it, with it and with it, with a double-edged sword
