Bamboo will run!
The clumping Bamboo will also run.
Go to you tube and type in bambo barrier to get an idea of
what you need to do to stop this.
With ours we live in a place where its running is ok.
If you just mow it down in the spring when it pops up this will keep
it from growing in that area.
But it will run 360 from the spot you plant it, and it can throw shoots
out 10 15 feet from area you plant it.
It's creepy in the spring how it can grow 8 inches in one day.
I love bamboo and birds like to nest in it.
But if I lived in a place where we did not have the space don't think I would plant it.
