Wow. In the novel Soft Apocalypse by Will McIntosh, eco terrorists develop a strain of bamboo that will grow through anything. They plant it to tear up buildings, roads, and the occasional human. Now we just need someone to create the Dr Happy pill.
Supposably that was a form of execution in ancient china. They would stake the victim over a bamboo sprout which would eventually grow through their chest.

I was just about to say Soft Apocalypse. Excellent book. Kinda has a happy ending? Not a reread though.
I’ve reread, but there is a violent animal death I have to skip.
