    No, bamboo would not be native to Europe. That’s like saying “There are rats in Europe. Therefore rodents are native to Europe. Therefore Capybaras are native to Europe”.

        I’m getting the feeling that you dont.

        Almost everywhere on earth has a species of grass that is native to it.

        The species of grass typically used for North American lawns, isnt native to North America.

            Sure. You first.

            "Poa pratensis commonly known as Kentucky bluegrass (…) [is a] species of grass native to practically all of Europe, North Asia and the mountains of Algeria and Morocco. It is a common and incredibly popular lawn grass in North America (…) despite the fact that it is not native to North America. (…)When found on native grasslands in Canada, for example, it is considered an unwelcome exotic plant, and is indicative of a disturbed and degraded landscape."
