Nice bamboo! Can I ask where you’re located? And, have you had trouble with the bamboo trying to spread where it’s not wanted?

I’ve tried to grow clumping bamboo a few times, but it always dies on me.

Thanks! I’m in Lincoln, Nebraska, somewheres on the Zone 4/5 area. And yes, with running bamboo, it’s VERY invasive. The trench around it needs to be re-dug this Spring, but it’s purpose is to chop of the spreading rhizomes, to prevent it from going where I don’t want. Some of mine grew 15 feet underground one season.

I’m hoping some of it gets to 12-15 feet tall this year. I love it, but lot’s of folks think I’m nuts :-)
