Dear Anon,

Further to what I had mentioned earlier about the bamboo tree (plant);

In my opinion, I find that it is a `dirty' plant. Do not get me wrong that I meant `dirty' as to it harbouring ghosts! *Joke*

What I actually meant was that:

1. Unlike a regular tree, which has only one tree trunk; bamboo plant grows "sideways" and in a short while, one bamboo plant or shoot would result in many bamboo shoots sprouting out or expanding `sideways' or taking up more ground space.

2. Should the older bamboo shoots be `cut' or had `rotted'; it could be a haven for mosquitoes or their lava since, the broken shoots can easily contain stagnant water.

3. Furthermore, if one try to remove the bamboo plants (in the future), it can be quite a messy affair and it is hard to pull out the roots unless, one really digs hard enough.

Because of the above, (rather than FS); I personally do not have a `good opinion' of the tree in one's home even if it is at the frontage of the house.. erh... so much trouble....

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
