This bamboo stalk got snapped almost completely in half during a storm two years ago, and yet it still lives.

I can't figure out how it could possibly be drawing enough nutrients to live, and yet there it is. I'd have chopped it up and dragged it away but now I'm impressed and want to see how long it goes on.
Oh God bamboo haunts my dreams. It was in our backyard when we moved in, creeping ever closer to the house. I wanted to get rid of it to plant native stuff and it was such a battle. I assume it's still under there and is just part of the "grass" now, since the whole lawn is mixed green weeds anyway. But it's gone, has been for a couple years now and we are establishing the landscape, have a food garden and two trees and various plants the pollinators like to hang out in.
