Yes, bamboo.  Japanese knotweed is a northern-hardy, true bamboo.  It is
VERY invasive, blooms late-August, early-September and produces a very nice
dark red honey in copious amounts.  Charles Andros claims bamboo holds his
1-day weight gain record - in northern Vermont!  The honey sometimes is
darker than buckwheat.  The plant prefers wet areas, along creek beds.
There is a stand on NYS Rt-88 near Owego that goes on for miles and miles!
Naturalists are quite concerned about the invasive plant and want to
irradicate it, but the plant is nearly indestructable.  You can almost see
it grow before your eyes.
