According to FSU its an invasive NON-NATIVE (Africa) grass.

This invasive giant may appear bamboo-like with its stout, "woody" older stems.

In Africa the "Pit Vipers" like to hide in it.

Thanks for your info. I misunderstood my sister and thought she said "Pit Grass", instead she meant "Tit grass". Sorry the confusion, but thanks for your help.
