What is this?

We always called it river cane. Smaller version of bamboo. Fun to build TP's and huts with the kiddo's with that stuff. Good duck cover also.

Btw if you want to transplant it all you have to do is wait until it goes dormant cut a stem and just stick in moist soil. Believe it or not sea cane, bamboo, etc are all just big grass species.

So you think it will spread? I don't want any cane that will spread or anything that is toxic to cattle. Any idea on toxicity?

If you plant it, it will definitely spread unless kept in check. Also if you ever mess with it in warm weather make sure you're wearing off, chiggers love it, I know from first hand experience...

Georgia Cane , got it coming out of bar ditch into hay patch , grows like crazy and doesnt hurt cows they will graze it down to the ground when small but don't mess with it too bad when it gets big just strip what they can reach

Georgia cane. Do not plant it around your blind or you won't be able to see out of it next year.

Always called it River cane also, there's stands of so thick and big along parts of the rio grande and Pecos rivers out here you can't get to the river and if you did get off in it you may never find your way out. Yes it will spread and if it get enough moisture it gets a bit out of control.

I'm not convinced that it will "take over". I see it in patches where there is water, but small patches.
