I assume they mean actual bamboo, some species of which grow over a meter per day. It’s also incredibly hard to remove and spreads very fast.
Simple solution, get a pet panda. The circle of life!
I doubt many, if any, would confuse the two. Bamboo is notorious for being hard to kill. It spreads underground using shoots, and those shoots can reemerge again and again every time you chop down the bamboo patch.
I've had to deal with some on my own property. The best solution I found, short of replacing the layer of infested dirt, is to inject some concentrated glyphosate into its hollow center stalk closer to the root. It tends to be resilient when just spraying the leaves.
