Hi guys!
So, here in Portugal, we are surrounded by these plants (yay, flora). Lately I've learned that my Russian can eat the leaves of corn plants (yay!). Then I started noticing that there aren't many 'wild' zea mays plants, but LOTS that look like them, which I later discovered to be the Arundo donax. So, I started looking up if Russians can eat these. Other than now knowing they grow in their natural habitat, I haven't actually been able to discover if they can eat them!

Does anybody here know?
My usual bibles don't have an answer and they are difficult to contact (I have to create a Yahoo account for one, no thanks).

I'll share the reply here if anybody else is interested in knowing if tortoises can eat them.
