The bamboo-like stuff or the rhubarb mimic?

Yikes. The Bohemian knot weed doesn't resemble bamboo until it gets some height to it. Definitely not a bamboo leaf, but does have the hollow jointed stem like bamboo.
I've been battling little outbursts of it along a clients property boundary and this spring found a 5 foot tall stem growing up next to a shrubby trees trunk that was invisible when the tree was leafed out. It's pernicious and tenacious. And sneaky!

i get knotweed but I don't consider it a weed. It makes good rabbit fodder. If your soil isn't hard it pulls right up. Usually has only one taproot.

What's invasive in one region may well be not such a problem in others.
San Diego is a desert and not wet enough for many species to get a toe hold, but I think you need to be careful about what you allow to grow unchecked NYboy.
You're probably not going to keep your knotweed under control by eating it.
