Bamboo do you have any in your yard

Oh cool. NOw if you keep and eye on it and trim any that you do not want can you keep it under control? I have read about using barriors to keep it where you want it did you try this? (waving like a mad woman oh oh come back talk to me so more) I'm harmless really!

I'll have to ask my parents as I don't remember if we even planted the bamboo or if it came from a neighbor's yard or what. If we did plant it, I know it would have been in our fountain area, not in the yard, but that's where it wound up. We never did anything to it as we never intended to have it in the yard, but it was nice and along the sides of the yard so we left it alone. I just looked in my gardening book (for Florida but I figure the principles are the same) and it says bamboo is a grass (thus the spreading quality!) and you can contain it by cutting the runners that you see growing where you don't want it to be or you can build an underground 'wall' to keep it in place.

I'm thinking maybe if I put it in a big pot. We were at the Nashville Zoo and they had a ton of it. I just loved the way it sounded when the wind blew it was very soothing, and I just think it is very pretty! Thanks for your help.

I always seem to want the impossible! sigh kicking the dirt....I will think about the pine trees! I'm just kidding around thanks for the advise. Maybe if I kipt it in a pot? a Big pot?
