Picked from a local swamp. Came up with a cat tail I was pulling up. Looks kinda like asparagus.

Horsetail rush. Can be agreesive grower.

Maybe there are different types of that Horsetail but if it's the kind that can spread to your yard it is awful. If it does make sure you sell your house in the Winter,lol!

Agree, it is horsetail rush and the need for containment. I have it growing in a mini-bog (pictured) and found it easy to grow and an evergreen throughout the winter.

Well it stays. Seems to like the pond and the pond likes it. Gets out of hand, I’ll burn it for heat in the winter.

Yup - great in the pond. HORRIBLE in the yard! I've seen people use horsetail rush in planter boxes as a patio screen - very cool! Kind of like this:

You can grow it in an open top aquarium too. Stuff is tough as nails.

Liking this. It looks nice in the pond. Guess I’ll go get the muck boots back on.

I like the looks of it. My corkscrew rush dies off every year so maybe a small piece of this. My lizards tail died off in my bog but I'm finding it in my yard!
