My thanx to those who responded regarding my bamboo post.
Not surprised that most responses mentioned the generally held perception that bamboo is invasive, hard to manage, and leads to unimagined problems....true, I know but there is the other side of the coin, too.

The following link (w/pic) ...

shows just what power bamboo can have, over a period of years, even when problems are anticipated...the bamboo in the pic is a clumping type bamboo too, not running bamboo as usually is the case when problems arise.

There are at least 1300 kinds of bamboo to choose from, but two basic types as far as growth is concerned...running bamboo, which is considered invasive boo; and, clumping boo, which is considered much less...”invasive.”

Post some pics of your boo if you can.

Thanks. I need to investigate boo. I have an invasive home going up next door and need a screen.

I am glad you weren’t bamboozled by the invasive negative comments! :-)

Bamboo is a nightmare to dig out. I would recommend that you plant it only in the yards of your enemies.
