    Hi I am new here and am wondering what I purchased on ebay about 3 years ago. I was told it was Arundinaria Gigantea 'CANEBREAK or RIVERCANE'. But I see many pictures on line that do not look like what I have in my yard. I live in central Illinos and what I have looks like giant killer corn. Help

    Looks to me like Giant Reed -- Arundo donax, it's quite invasive.
