I second this opinion. My grandmother used to have a huge old specimen of
the purple-leaved kind beside her driveway. When she wanted to get rid of
it, the task fell to yours truly, and I never struggled so with anything in
my life. I think it would have been easier to take out a grove of that
bamboo Barbara Sargent is fighting.
