Yeh, my first batch of bamboo made me sorry I’d ever heard of Boo!
Bur there are ways of restricting its spread...most online Boo sites online now have—not just sales—lotsa info on boo culture, etc.

Two basic growing kinds of boo—running and clumping; but about 1500 kinds of boo both tropical and temperate....

but boo is strong growing stuff, any way ya cut it!

See link for pic of boo busting through concrete sewer pipe after many years...below...

Indeed. There are whole forests of the stuff in Asia.

Thanks for the link...I will check it out! :-)

Where we lived a few years ago, the clown across the street planted lots of that stuff around two corners of his house...a couple of years later, shoots started popping up all over his lawn - he'd just mow 'em right along with the grass.

Just before we moved, he had to totally bust out the foundation of the corner rooms of his house, since the bamboo started popping up in his living/dining rooms.
