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 :-)

You are only the 2nd person I’ve ever known that grew bamboo on purpose. It does make a great screen and barrier to noise, which is what my neighbor has done with it. He blocks the view and the noise from the interstate.
