  But grass IS native! That’s the point. Be it bamboo or whatever.

    Okay but it’s a pointless sentence that means very little.

    That’s not how it works. Grass isn’t just one thing. It’s a general term for a lot of different plants that may or may not be native.

    No, bamboo would not be native to Europe. That’s like saying “There are rats in Europe. Therefore rodents are native to Europe. Therefore Capybaras are native to Europe”.

        I’m getting the feeling that you dont.

        Almost everywhere on earth has a species of grass that is native to it.

        The species of grass typically used for North American lawns, isnt native to North America.

        Yes that’s my point. And bamboo isn’t native to Europe either.

        Huh, TIL. I stand corrected, I guess.

        I suppose I assumed cane and sugar cane were more closely related and I already knew sugar cane wasn’t bamboo.
