Arundinaria gigantea (the US's only native bamboo) is also known by the common names of River Cane, Canebrake and its sub species - Switch Cane. This species once covered vast tracks of bottom lands that was of vital importance to Native Americans and native wildlife. Vast expanses were clear cut and burned by settlers after they realized the soil that River Cane thrived in was extremely fertile.
