Request listing of golden bamboo
 

Fairfax County supports the listing of running bamboo as a noxious weed because it spreads invasively into neighbors’ yards and is a threat to native biodiversity. Specifically, we support the listing of golden bamboo (Phyllostachys aurea), which is the most common non-native invasive bamboo causing loss of property and ecosystem value in Fairfax County.
