It is an amazing tree/plant whatever. It will grow to cover a half acre in less than a year. The only way to keep it under control that I know of is stainless steel barriers about 3 feet deep as a wall because this stuff grows like crazy. You'll think its under control and then 30 feet away on the other side of you driveway it will pop up. The root system travels that far. The only way I have seen it eradicated once it's gone rogue is with a backhoe and a compete removal of all the earth down 3 feet. In some areas, mortgage companies will not even consider a home with bamboo growing on it..

It's beautiful, but very bad news to have bamboo on your property.
