Don't ever plant bamboo! It's an invasive species and will take over.

flowercat0523, only the spreading species. clumping varieties aren't invasive

flowercat0523, I've read that and heard it, too, but the grouping in my garden has stayed in the same place for 30 years. Very well behaved!

yes indeed bamboo is a member of the grass family. Depending on where you live and what's around in the area you can actually watch it grow in the course of a day.

Canis Lupus, All over SE Asia construction crews use bamboo instead of metal scaffolding because it is so strong.....

flowercat0523, it really depends on the type and where you are located! Decorative bamboo (I am not sure of its proper name) does not spread, it just grows up. I base this on my years of experience growing different types

flowercat0523, There are several types of Bamboo you just happened to have the type that was in and I e there are many types that are not! Look it up I had an entire fencing area made of bamboo that was over 40 feet high ! Made a perfect privacy fence for noisy neighbors, had it for over 23 years before moving and had no problems with it staying right where I planted it. It did fill in and once a year my husband and I would trim it but nothing like the bamboo in which you are speaking!!!

flowercat0523, yes it's considered a weed in Australia and is extremely difficult to get rid of once the roots spread

Don't break a stem of bamboo with your hands. I was 9 when I did it and it caused hundreds of cuts on my arms and hands.

flowercat0523, I live in Georgia where it's hot. In many places the bamboo is taking over, even crowding out the sidewalks. Hate 'em.

flowercat0523, Fine if you have it in a bucket or trough. Also It’s a beautiful screening plant, you just need to know how and where to plant it.
