We planted about 50 ft of bamboo in our yard in New Jersey, there are many types from a short 4-ft to 24 ft tall versions. Depending on the type you get you have to build a wall in the soil so it doesn't spread. There are many nurseries in Florida with bamboo for you to look at and it's a beautiful addition to a yard if you get the right types, also note the bark can be very different from type to type as well as the coloring. We really enjoyed our bamboo and I miss it. It's not grown as much here because of the non-native palms everyone seems to plant but forget that they have to take care of and trim all the time. Bamboo on the other hand will take care of itself and of course the advantage is that it doesn't widen like an oak tree if you get the right types. Again the nurseries arer your friends and have a lot of information
