Apparently, the homeowners, whose property borders Back River in Baltimore County near Rock Creek Park, Maryland, are quite pleased with their decision to plant “Japanese bamboo” to reduce erosion.<br><br>I’m concerned because Fallopia japonica can live in salt environments, such as salt marshes. I’ve been informed that the mouth of Back River is at the southern edge of the fresh water zone of the Chesapeake Bay with average salinity of 6 ppt, but salinity can range from <1 ppt to 10 ppt depending on weather conditions. I’m assuming that the pieces of rhizomes that might break off in a major storm could survive in Back River to colonize other areas, especially if the storm reduced the salinity in the river. Does anyone know if this is correct? Also, would the seeds remain viable if they were transported to another location by Back River?<br><br>If the homeowners were convinced to remove their Fallopia japonica, what would be the best way to eradicate it so near the water? Something like Rodeo plus a non-ionic surfactant? <br><br>Thanks for your advice. <br><br>Judy</span><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>____________________________________________<br><br>Judith P.
