2. To be specific Korea and Japan 
3. As an ornamental plant, for erosion control and for wildlife forage and cover (would have taken any of these)

1. Sure does resemble bamboo... Giant Reed/Cane, [i]Arundo donax[/i]
2a. Three countries? Native to: Egypt, Turkey, Iraq?,
2b. US, Cuba, Japan?
3. Asexually through vegetative propagation (series of rhizomes underground)
4. Used as fuel, to make instruments, and construction; importation of mediterranean insects
5. Prefers wetlands and grows in areas with arsenic, lead, and cadmium; it is adapted to wildfires and photosynthesizes like many other plant species

Hello,
I am a student at Torrey Hills Elementary. Since we have a fairly small team (and build events are especially popular) we did not do Invasive Species while it was a test event. If you guys had any information to offer, that would be great (as to the format of tests, etc...)
Thanks a lot!

2. Where is it native? (Looking for four seas and an ocean)
3. How did it get transported into non-native territory?
4. Where do they prefer to live?
5. How do they survive in non-native territory?
and 6. Where did they most notably invade in the US?
