Bamboo plants in the garden- You must know if you have it or Will plant it. Cool Video.
Here that is for you,
cool video on a very important thing that who ever planting bamboo shoud know.
Few more points:
1. All bamboo plants spread, even some are called clamping - they spread but slower than the seconed group that called running bamboo.
2. the bamboo got rhizome - under the ground it looks similar to the bamboo stake : thick with sections and the end of each section is a bud that can developed to another plant these can spread far away.
3. running bamboo can spread very far , cross roads and gardens... be aware.
4. I would not dear to plant it without 1-2 mm root barrier after all the stories that I heard about it.
For example I had on feb (2011) A customer rang and said '' THE RHIZOMES FROM THE BAMBOO HEDGE ARE UNDEAR ALL THE LAWN... WHAT CAN i DO?''. Tough what could I say.

Not that specific one,
But do sell lots of bamboo barrier, In fact the only one that supply a 2mm thick version (about as 2 pounds coin)-heavy duty- that in the Usa, Germany and other countries been known as tough enough to work for many years.
I am sometimes amazed to see firms selling 0.25 or 0.5 mm as these just can not hold the pressure.
